March 5, 2025 – Ash Wednesday
May the ashes we receive today remind us of our need for Your mercy and our call to conversion. Strengthen us to turn away from sin and draw closer to You through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.
Bless Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in New Milton and all other churches as they guide us through this sacred time. May their ministries bring light to those in darkness, hope to the weary, and love to the lost. Inspire us to deepen our faith and trust in You.
Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, help us to walk with Christ in His suffering, so we may share in His glorious resurrection. We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
