Theology of the Body Basics
1. God created this world and you on purpose and out of love.
2. Human beings are made in God’s image and likeness, and originally (before the Fall), Man and Woman had “right relationship” with God, others, and self.
3. Human beings are made of soul and body (“you are your body”)
4. What you do with your body matters.
5. Jesus reveals the innermost secret of God: He is an eternal exchange of love (this means that your innermost identity is love as well).
6. The body has a language and we can either use that language for the purpose for which we were created (love) or we can tell lies with our bodies.
7. Jesus reveals and makes possible loving as God loves (through His self-offering in the life and on the Cross…and in the Eucharist and by giving us the Holy Spirit that can untwist what has been twisted by sin: restore the relationship with God, others, and ourselves.)

Check out this blog post from Hallow.com about Ash Wednesday, on Feb. 14, 2024, and the start of Lent.
Remember, anyone can receive ashes, it is NOT a sacrament and Ash Wednesday is not a holy day of obligation. When you receive your ashes, you do not need to respond. Just move your hair off of your forehead so the ashes can be placed. :)
