The History & Biblical Meaning of Ash Wednesday & Lent | EWTN News Nightly

Ash Wednesday is one of the busiest days for Mass of the entire year. Even though it is not a Holy Day of obligation, the faithful flock to churches. But what is the history of Ash Wednesday and is there a Biblical significance for Lent? Fr. John Paul Mary Zeller from the Franciscan Missionaries of the Eternal Word, joins to tell us more about the history of Ash Wednesday and what it says to him that so many people attend Mass even when it is not a Holy Day of Obligation. He explains what the Biblical significance of Lent is and what advice he has for getting the most out of Lent. Fr. John Paul discusses some practical concrete things we can do during Lent to deepen our faith journey and love for God. He shares why he says it is fitting this year that Ash Wednesday falls on Valentine's Day. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
