Gospel Acclamation:   One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. (Matthew 4:4)

"…the pronouncement that we are dust contains another depth. The downward motion of the believer, the descent with Christ into the dust of the earth, has become an upward motion, an ascent above the highest heaven. Christianity does not set free from the flesh and dust, nor does it bypass flesh and dust; it goes right through flesh and dust…When on Ash Wednesday we hear the words, "Remember that you are dust," we are also told then that we are brothers and sisters of the Incarnate Lord."
                        (Karl Rahner (1904-1984), The Great Church Year)


Lord, have mercy. Christ have mercy. Savior of the whole world, have mercy on us and hear, O Lord, our voices. Amen   (Hospodine pomiluji ny, oldest Slavic hymn)
