ASH WEDNESDAY
————————————
February 22nd.
We will have two services again this year, both will be held in the church rather than the chapel.
1st Service at Noon – reading of A Penitential Office, Imposition of Ashes, followed by a Said Mass.
Evening Prayer will be read at 5:30 in the church.
2nd Servcie at 6:00 PM – reading of A Penitential Office, Imposition of Ashes, followed by a Said Mass.
Ash Wednesday is the beginning of Lent. As is the tradition in the East of throwing ashes over one’s shoulder as a way to show a penetant heart to God, the Western Church has adopted this form of penance as the grand starting point for the Season of Lent, the great Penitential Season, by marking the sign of the cross on the forehead of the faithful Christian with the ashes from the burned palms from the previous Palm Sunday.
SHROVE TUESDAY
————————————
Just a simple reminder that next Tuesday is Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday. The men of the Parish will cook Holy Comforter’s traditional pancake supper which will be served at 6:00 PM next Tuesday evening the 21st. Evening Prayer will be read at 5:30 in the chapel so that we may set the tone for the festival that will follow at 6:00. Shrove Tuesday, coming from the verb “shriven”, meaning to seek penance and to ask for absolution, is a festival time before the Season of Lent that begins the following day after the Ash Wednesday service. Pancakes, containing sugar, fat, flour, and eggs, were considered to be things from which we should abstain during Lent. And because of this pancakes are the central theme of the Shrove Tuesday fellowship. Even though a festival, making time to come might be seen as a discipline to some, rather, please think of this as a once in a year occasion to prepare of the Season that will follow.
