Today is Ash Wednesday. Walk with Christ these 40 days. Each day, doing a good deed in His name.

“Ash Wednesday is a holy day of prayer and fasting for many Christians. It marks the first day of Lent and is usually observed by Western Christians, such as the Roman Rite Catholics, Anglicans, Lutherans, and more from the reformed tradition.”

Low-key feeling extra homesick today because of Ash Wednesday. My whole family would go to mass together in the afternoon and then have supper at our place & today I’ll be absent for the first time ever. I miss my family so much 💔
