I wish all a wonderful beginning of Lent on this Ash Wednesday!
One of those tools would have been helpful on Ash Wednesday during my first year of seminary:
In October of 2008, after serving three years as a Naval Officer, I was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer. This blog chronicles my pilgrimage through life and towards the Roman Catholic priesthood.

That is too funny. I barely got any ashes today and my Protestant friends were all wondering if I'd gone to Mass or not. Guess they remember Ash Wednesday now :)
Philip, that ash was worth memorializing in a photo!

When I was a kid in Catholic school, the priests imposed ashes in such a way that it felt like they were just sort of twisting their thumbs on our foreheads, and the ashes just looked like thumbprints. I was 25 years old before I realized they were making the sign of the cross.
