Ash Wednesday

During the forty days of Lent, God's baptized people cleanse their hearts through the discipline of Lent:  repentance, prayer, fasting and almsgiving.  Lent is a time which God's people prepare with joy for the Paschal Feast (Easter).  It is a time in which God renews His people's zeal in faith and life.  It is a time in which we pray that we may be given the fullness of grace that belongs to the children of God.

--Treasury of Daily Prayer pg. 26
