I renew my invitation for everyone to take part on 2 March, Ash Wednesday, in a Day of Prayer and Fasting for Peace in #Ukraine, in order to be near to the suffering Ukrainian people, to be aware that we are all brothers and sisters, and to implore God for an end to the war. https://t.co/ecNo53Ofya
In response to the warfare in Ukraine, Pope Francis has declared this Ash Wednesday a day of prayer and fasting for peace for, believers and nonbelievers. https://t.co/zmu2xuuIZP https://t.co/y7gQriDDtQ
Happiness is... an excuse to eat pancakes all day!!!
What will you be having on your pancakes this Shrove Tuesday?
This day always falls on a Tuesday, the seventh week before Easter and the day before Ash Wednesday which marks the start of Lent.

Ash Wednesday is mainly a Catholic observance in which ashes are marked on the forehead of parishioners in the shape of a cross. The ashes are meant as a reminder of our mortality and sinfulness.
