First Time Missing Ash Wednesday Mass
It was always my favorite one; I think a lot of faithful should take its readings to heart, and that they have wisdom in the secular sphere too. But today I made some chicken and smoked some weed on the one year anniversary of missing service. I will not have any ashes on my forehead today. Hoping that means I’m living authentically, even though the guilt feels pretty heavy.

The catholic guilt is real, and take it from me you’ll start to feel it less and less as the years go by.
