#AshWednesday
I serve in a small parish (ASA ~35) in a large small town (pop. ~4400). We live stream our services and, as you would expect, those numbers are also small.
HOWEVER…..my parish admin came to me this morning and said we had 62 views for yesterday’s Noon service and 30 views for the 6:00 service (IPA was 15 & 8).
I have no idea why it was so high, but it certainly made me smile. So to all those who watched our online #AshWednesday services, thank you, and keep coming back.

2026-02-19Pope Leo laments a world ‘in flames’ at Ash Wednesday service
My wife got ashes on her forehead today and then said she wanted to press them up to my forehead to share. But she turned her head slightly and now I look like a member of the X-Men.
Protest Thread #88: #FuckICE does not stop for #AshWednesday
Tonight was a bit more unstructured at the concentration camp, with the focus mostly on making a ton of noise outside the windows in the hopes the detainees would hear us. There are some translucent windows where the detainees in some cells can hear and sort of see us, but it's even odds whether we will see any outlines. #ICE is so terrified of basic human compassion that they move people out of those cells...
Everyone's favorite Interfaith Heathen was called upon to bring Ash Wednesday to some patients and their family members during chaplain rounds this evening. #chaplain #AshWednesday #interfaith
Did the Annual Catholic thing at St Elizabeth’s and then headed to the USA to watch Bailey Maupin and the Texas Tech Lady Raiders SWEEP and WRECK Baylor! #AshWednesday #MiercolesDeCeniza #WreckEm
Today on #AshWednesday I swear I saw a dude with an X-men ash logo on his forehead.

Time to get groovy!
"Father, I'm giving up my kids for Lent."
"No, you can't do that."
"Why not? You give up something you love for Lent, and I love my kids."
"No, that's not how it works." 🤦♂️

So many people on Twitter dressing up as Catholics for Ash Wednesday, which they've never marked before in their lives because they're not Catholics. I guess it must be all the rage in culture wars circles.
To those who observe, you are marked on #AshWednesday with a cross of #hope, not just #repentance. May you find grace in your Lenten #fast.
Western Christians begin #Lent February 18, 2026.
Orthodox Christians begin #GreatLent February 23, 2026.
Both count back from their #Easter date, but each uses a different calendar to approximate te #vernalequinox (Gregorian vs. Julian)

On this #AshWednesday I managed to see 5 of the 10 parishioners I had planned on for home ashes. One wasn’t home, one was sick, two had medical appointments, and one came to the Noon service.
I’ve got one more service to go before calling it a day.
5/10 is pretty good. And it’s one of the little things I enjoy about my job.
