Y'know, I didn't know that it was Ash Wednesday today haha. Just saw the conversation around Lent and thought I'd add my 2 cents in haha

Happy Shrove Tuesday/Mardi Gras! Today, as we get ready for the beginning of Lent tomorrow on Ash Wednesday (a day of fasting, and abstinence from meat), many of us will be celebrating today with traditional meals of pancakes … Bon appétit! 🥞 https://t.co/3bNfg5SFZP

Today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. This year, the Office of Ignatian Spirituality is offering audio reflections each Friday. The 5–7 minute reflections are inspired by Ignatian spirituality and presented by the OIS Jesuit Connections team. https://t.co/Yh1M0rKFUE https://t.co/HowdrsKtg5
