You are a Soul

“You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body.”

--C.S.Lewis

Ash Wednesday

"Grant us, O Lord, to begin with holy fasts the campaign of our Christian warfare:  that, as we do battle with the spirits of evil, we may be protected by the help of self-denial, through Christ our Lord. Amen."

--Prayer recited after the distribution of ashes, from the Mass of Ash Wednesday.
