Cross on the forehead, sign that humans came from dust,to dust they shall return.
Catholic Christians on Ash Wednesday February 18 solemnly
observed and welcome the Lenten season as the sign of their humility and
faithfulness for God.
Priests and religious people reminds every Filipino
Catholics to attend the Ash Wednesday masses in every parishes. As a repentance
for the souls from sins, as Jesus Christ spent
40 days fasting in the desert, where he endured temptation to Satan.
Ashes are ceremonially placed on the heads, either by
being sprinkled over their heads or more often by being marked on their
foreheads as a visible cross.
The common verses from the bible that Catholic’s cherish are
like; “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return”, (from Genesis
3:19). Sign of the ashes that being marked on the foreheads.
In addition, this Lenten Season also reminds the time of
repentance, fasting, praying and believing in the holy power of the gospel.
Father Gerald Pangilinan from the parish of St. Peter the
Apostle says in his homily; “Repent, and believe in the Gospel, ito na ang araw
para umpisahan nating magnilay at magdasal sa ating Panginoon”.
Following the right path thru the holiness and thru the
teaching of the holy gospel. Remembering Jesus Christ as he suffer from death to
save humans from mortal sins.
“Iwasan nating ang tukso, tukso ng makamundong bagay. Bagong teknolohiya,
tukso ng laman at tukso ng mga bagay-bagay sa paligid natin”, added by Fr.
Pangilinan.
Avoiding such things that can affect everyone believes of
being catholic. He also invites everyone to practice the sacrament of
confession especially in the time of the Lenten season.
