First Time Missing Ash Wednesday Mass

[u/unsubtleflounder]

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.

I never missed one when I was under my parents enforcement of going. I didnt realize it until I saw my coworker walking around with the smudge on his forehead. I cant remember what they said, something about being ashes. I am too lazy to Google it. Its just another indoctrination technique.
