My "King Cake" is not even digested, and You want me to FAST!!!!

Fat Tuesday to Ash Wednesday!!

Ash Wednesday-repent our sins, and fast.
To feel sorry for, regret. (definition for repent)

The ceremony of smearing ashes on my forehead, appeals to me. Compels me to ponder, and pray. Wonder what "branding me" with the symbol of the cross, would conjure up??

Repenting for past transgressions, not so much.
You see I have it covered.
I wake up asking for forgiveness and close my eyes, at night, asking for forgiveness.
Example of my daily prayer.
AM prayer-Jesus forgive me, because I will probably do something wrong today. I may have a lapse of judgement!!?? You made me, so I'm guessing, were OK!
Noon prayer-HELP ME!!!!!
Pm prayer-Thank you for the day, hope I did not disappoint you, and if I did SORRY, but....please remove that obstacle that has been in my path!!! remember we talked about it!!!You know with my impulse problems and quick tongue, move the obstacle!! thanks...love you.

So will a few ashes change my prayer??
It is a gentle reminder, that the cross is empty. Mass at 5:00. (yes I did eat the last piece of the King Cake!!)
