Highlights from Ash Wednesday Mass
On the morning of February 14, we celebrated the beginning of the Lenten season with our campus-wide Ash Wednesday Mass. View photos from the celebration below. During his Homily, Fr. Steggert provided students with some advice from Pope Francis about fasting and charitable acts this Lenten season:
Back
Fast from hurting words, and say kind words.
Fast from sadness, and be filled with gratitude.
Fast from anger, and be filled with patience.
Fast from pessimism, and be filled with hope.
Fast from worries, and have trust in God.
Fast from complaints, and contemplate simplicity.
Fast from pressures, and be prayerful.
Fast from bitterness, and fill your hearts with joy.
Fast from selfishness, and be compassionate to others.
Fast from grudges, and be reconciled.
Fast from words, and be silent so you can listen.
Fast from sadness, and be filled with gratitude.
Fast from anger, and be filled with patience.
