This has been reprinted from last year's Ash Wednesday post. May you all have a spirit-filled and rewarding Lent.
The purpose for getting ashes on our foreheads on Ash Wednesday...
"The Church extends to all Catholics an invitation to receive ashes. The rite of administering ashes has been created by the Church as a sacramental to make us conscious both of the reality of death and of the necessity for penance and contrition. The effect of this rite depends upon the prayerful purpose of the recipient."
