Doing what we can with heart, faith and love . . . first and foremost toward God and His priorities—which happen to include others . . .

IS, I think,

the most anyone can ask of us.

Yes, our beliefs OFTEN [not always, it seems to me] include at least aspects of assumptions. But some are based more wholesale on assumptions hanging on sky hooks than others.

God be with you and yours this Resurrection Sunday Season.

Oh, thank you Q. It is a Catholic (Ash) Wednesday. This year, our Calendars do not coincide. Since all EOs celebrate Easter according to the Old Calendar (makes you wonder why did some bother changing to the New one for all other events?!), our Great and Holy Lent (fast) will start in the latter part of March and end at the close of April.

Easter cannot precede Passover, as it happens with New Calendar churches. Also our Lent starts and ends on a Sunday (the Lord's Day), never on Wednesday. Ours also lasts a little longer (usually 42 days). But I appreciate the thought.
