How delicious they looked! John and Joseph soon chose theirs, but to Grandma's surprise Peter walked quickly away to the window, saying, No, thank you, Grandma, not to-day, and he pretended to be very busy watching a robin in the garden.
Mike ScherschligtHOST
Remember that you will die.
Mike ScherschligtHOST
And even now, every Ash Wednesday, we're marked with ashes and we hear, Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.
Mike ScherschligtHOST
So it wasn't just a group of eccentric Italian Franciscans.

dirt
Deanne SheelerGUEST
I completely agree with that.
Deanne SheelerGUEST
You know, I think of all the times that working in a non-Catholic environment and I'd go to Ash Wednesday Mass and I show up with ashes on my head and how many people are like, what is that? Why aren't you wiping that off? And you have a great opportunity to share the faith with them, but also there's a little bit more of a risk.
Deanne SheelerGUEST
in that.
Deanne SheelerGUEST
You know, here you're more likely to come to work on Ash Wednesday morning and have people say, where are your ashes? Are you going to Mass later today?

Nigel HallidayGUEST

Nigel HallidayGUEST
That's it.
