In solidarity with those impacted by the invasion of Ukraine, Pope Francis called for this Ash Wednesday to be a day of fasting and prayer for peace. Today, Villanova’s Masses have this intention. Let us pray for peace and protection for all, and a swift end to this conflict. https://t.co/0OpLLko2BS

Today, I join Christians around the world in observing Ash Wednesday — and pray for those who have lost loved ones during the past year. Lent is a time to deepen our faith as we prepare for the joy of the Easter season.

It's #FatTuesday! The last day of Carnival and the day before Ash Wednesday, Fat Tuesday is the intertwining of a period of festivals and feasts that lead to a time of fasting and reflection. How are you celebrating? https://t.co/A0RpeMPfyl

An idea: Pope Francis has asked us to make Ash Wednesday a special day of prayer for peace. As a class or school, each child can decorate a dove to put on the window making a whole sea of peace for all to see. 🙏🕊️🙏 Some examples from @twinklresources https://t.co/tqJ7Z2843I
