At the stroke of midnight on Fat Tuesday, New Orleans Police Department go through the streets announcing Mardi Gras is now over! That means Lent has officially begun....Lent is the Catholic period of preparation for Holy Week. Faithful Catholics will observe with self denial, fasting, prayer and good works. By receiving ashes on you forehead in the shape of a cross you are reminded... "man is but dust".
"Anything done for another is done for oneself." Pope John Paul II (1920-2005)
