The Ash Wednesday liturgy indicates the fundamental dimension of Lent in the conversion of the heart to God.

Thanks for posting this since Papa is on retreat and we won't have our weekly audience fix. A friend who is a seminarian in Rome said that Romans get ashes imposed on the top of their heads. It's the seminarians who get crossed on their foreheads.

That's exactly why I posted it. I was planning on mentioning that when I get home tonight and send out a ping to the weekly audience ping list.
