Our Lenten Journey, Ash Wednesday March 5, 2025

Join The Dialog again this year on Our Lenten Journey. Each day, we will bring you a thought to start your morning — a quote from a saint, a passage from scripture, or thoughts from theologians — along with a links to each day’s readings and other Lent-related topics.

Today, Ash Wednesday, marks the beginning of Lent, 40 days of reflection and sacrifice as we prepare to celebrate Easter. For most Christians, it is a time to make sacrifices by “giving up” something, and also a time to practice corporal and spiritual works of Mercy as part of the observance of the season.
