A 5 minute daily podcast to help you in your Lenten discipline.
A reminder about the Roman Station. Receiving ashes is different in different places. Fr. Troadec gets us started. We hear the beginning of the beautiful chant Immutemur habitu in cinere et cilicio on the way out.

On the island in Greece where I live, ashes are sprinkled on top of your head by the priest. I have never seen this in all my life and I’ve been to Ash Wednesday Mass in different countries over the years.
Thank You Father. Looking forward to these Lentcazts.
Good Father Z, on behalf of those of us who, through age or whatever other circumstances, can no longer make Lenten or Advent trips to the wonderful places you take us in your podcasts, many, many thanks. You never let us down!
“Ashes are not going to last for 6 weeks except in your own penitential attitude.”
Very good statement, Father Z!
Thank you for the reflection, Father! I looked up Santa Sabina to see what you were describing, especially the depiction of Jesus crucified between the two thieves!
