With all our country is going through, and the suffering that surrounds us here in L. A., Ash

Wednesday and Lent have a very special meaning this year. Thank you, Frank for helping us

get through it. Claire

Love the last line 'softening under God's grace.' I'm going to reflect on this during these 40 days. Thank you.

Thank you Frank for this wisdom on Ash Wednesday. Your last paragraph “ on softening under God’s grace” is what I need to remember during this Lenten Season.

With so many ways to interpret "a 40-day period of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving", I am always looking for a way to honor my faith that gives me a personal connection to the true intent for lent. The image of "softening under God's grace" still encourages examination but allows for reflection. Thank you
