I renew my invitation for everyone to take part on 2 March, Ash Wednesday, in a Day of Prayer and Fasting for Peace in #Ukraine, in order to be near to the suffering Ukrainian people, to be aware that we are all brothers and sisters, and to implore God for an end to the war. https://t.co/ecNo53Ofya

Happiness is... an excuse to eat pancakes all day!!! What will you be having on your pancakes this Shrove Tuesday? This day always falls on a Tuesday, the seventh week before Easter and the day before Ash Wednesday which marks the start of Lent. #shrovetuesday #pancakeday https://t.co/3ItRjGfNA2

Today is Ash Wednesday and beginning of Lent. What I hope to give up is unkind thoughts and utterances.
