Thought for Ash Wednesday February 25

Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned.

Give me back the joy of your salvation,

and a willing spirit sustain in me.

O Lord, open my lips,

and my mouth shall proclaim your praise.

Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned.

Matthew 6: 1 – 18 When you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites

What sacrifices do I make for the Kingdom of God? Do I bear sacrifice well?

Action: Act happy while you fast and abstain.
