Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent. This year (2024) Ash Wednesday also coincides with Valentine’s Day. This is the first such happening in our current century. The last year in which the two met like this was 1945.
So Love meets Lent. On Ash Wednesday we come face to face once again with our recognition that we often fail in living up to what we believe to be God’s desire for us, and on this same day we are reminded that, failures we may sometimes be, but we are loved, and love is all around us.
Both are important things to know.
