The season of Lent offically begins!

Today is Ash Wednesday marking the official beginning of the Lenten Season

Ashes will also be distributed at 12:15pm in the context of the Liturgy of the Word

Today is also a day of fasting and abstinence.  "For members of the Latin Catholic Church, the norms on fasting are obligatory from age 18 until age 59. When fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal. Two smaller meals may also be taken, but not to equal a full meal. The norms concerning abstinence from meat are binding upon members of the Latin Catholic Church from age 14 onwards." (quoted from the USCCB website)
