this entry - which is a continuation of the previous - I want to start a series of good posts o. .. Post. The idea is to write short texts about the liturgical season, which is currently in the Church, lightly enriched with my own personal reflections. I will use in this journal (diary? Blog?) Krystian - the average practitioner, a young Catholic. Why Chris? Because this name is: Christian. Krystian can be any of us ...
What now? Today - Ash Wednesday.

As every year the same, a similar pattern - the carnival for good is not got under way, yet many a good party went over the head, and here - what a surprise! - Ash Wednesday. Apparently it's not feast, like not a normal day ... She did not need to go to church, and the like ... maybe you need? It was the day ordained or not? Eh ... That's a bit do not know what, in addition to fast bid. In the last year have failed, and again forgot to put on cold meat sandwiches. Two years ago, misled me, Adam and I took from him this week Crisps - posts were hell. Or maybe it was a year ago, and two ham? I do not know, maybe even this year we will succeed. This Lent, do not makes me optimistic. But I must admit frankly that I have not been so focused on the Mass as it is today. There's some atmosphere in the church today, something special ... And reading these words - I managed to finally remember something - Turn to the Lord your God! Or something like that like. Maybe we finally go to confession? A bit has passed since the last ...
thrill me, i just passing by, as I recall the words of the priest when I scattered the ashes ... thou art dust and to dust you shall return ... could not tell me this version of religious conversion and faith in the gospel? Brrrr ...

What is my post?
looks like my practice of fasting from food (eg meat on Friday)? Maybe it is not at all, and maybe it is just kind of diet?
you know what is the rite of sprinkling ashes on the head?
Do I want to sincerely repent to God?

From me: For me personally Ash Wednesday is an incredible day in which Jesus clearly says to the man back to me! It is a day that starts my favorite liturgical season, which reminds me that soon will be a beautiful Easter Triduum. Today - as ever on Wednesday - could participate in the Eucharist the evening thanks to the cancellation of my last lecture. God wanted me to be at this Mass - I'm convinced. Provisions? There are, though still crystallize. First thoughts? Again, back in my life about Jealousy, though perhaps in slightly different form. Jesus says in today's Gospel, a desire to be noticed, appreciated - warns against the devotion of the show. I myself often - although perhaps a bit of other issues - want someone saw me, I want to be the center of someone's attention. Well - not without reason that the Lord sends me to the desert!
invite you to departure on this journey together - another part of the Desert Time will ... That's right, it will be.
