The ashes we'll receive on Wednesday won't last very long at all. At best, they'll serve as a good Lenten reminder for about a day. In my parish every year, in addition to ashes, we distribute a reminder that we're living not just a day but a season of renewal and repentance. For several years now, we've distributed small pocket Crosses bearing a scripture verse.
This year's verse is Romans 12:12
Rejoice in hope,
be patient in tribulation,
be constant in prayer.
If you'd like to have one of these crosses, just send a self-addressed stamped envelope to

There is no charge for your Cross. Please do not send any money with your request! If you want to make a donation, please send your offering to the St. Boniface Haiti Foundation, the link for which is always on my sidebar.
