Ash Wednesday
A day of fast and abstinence may not be the most opportune time to celebrate St Valentine’s day. But on the day that celebrates love, perhaps we should note how much God loves us and, as St Ignatius advises, be attentive to those things that take us from that love. The season of Lent provides us with the chance to refocus our lives and to look at all those things that take us from the person who loves us most.
