On Ash Wednesday, each of us had a cross traced on our foreheads as a mark of our repentance. We began anew on the road of conversion, recalling our baptismal promises by once again taking up more fully the penitential practices highlighted in our Gospel on Ash Wednesday, those acts of fasting, almsgiving and more frequent prayer. They will hopefully move us from focusing on ourselves to taking on the poverty of Christ, in imitation of our Beloved.
