The Significance of Ash Wednesday
They may just be ashes, but Fr. Mike points out that what they represent
goes far beyond mere dust of the earth. With a simple cross on the
forehead, we are recognizing that we are far from perfect, but that God
loves and redeems us—not despite our brokenness, but in the midst of it.
If you want to start off your Lent with a reminder of Ash Wednesday’s
deeper meaning, listen to Fr. Mike’s heartfelt words in this video.

Commemoration of Deceased Salesians
In the celebration of the
Eucharist the memory of our deceased confreres is not only an act of suffrage, but
also an act of thanksgiving to God for having given to his Church so many generous
men who have responded to the voice of the Lord by committing themselves to
work with Saint John Bosco, in the practice of the evangelical counsels, for
the benefit of the young.
As our fathers and
brothers, they have passed on to us a precious heritage. Some of them are still
fresh in our memory; others are held in benediction; and there are those whose
humble and hidden lives are recorded only as names in the Necrology.
Rather than recount the
praises of their virtues, this holy assembly wishes to recognize the good they
were able to carry out in the Church through God's grace. This is an attitude
which stems spontaneously from faithful and grateful hearts also, when we
remember those with whom we have worked, believed, hoped, suffered and loved;
they are an incentive to us to continue with fresh enthusiasm in our own
vocation.
