Today is Ash Wednesday and many PBA students are using today to reflect and prepare for the Lenten season. Lent is a great reminder to refocus one’s life upon the eternal and truly meaningful aspects of life found within Jesus and his message. Many students on campus are choosing to give up some aspect of life, maybe chocolate or facebook for example, so that they can focus upon their faith and relationship with God much easier. The Newman Club, which is composed of a group of the catholic students and faculty on campus, will be hosting its annual Ash Wednesday chapel at 3:00 this afternoon. This is always a very meaningful and moving chapel, helping students and faculty to focus their attention on the Jesus of Good Friday, and that of Easter morning. The Newman Club is a very active club on campus. Ash Wednesday also serves as a reminder to the student body that the middle of the semester is approaching and it is most definitely time to buckle down and complete all necessary tasks before Midterms and Spring Break arrives. The coursework and study in college should be used as an act of worship to God because he is our Creator and Sustainer.
I hope that you are able to take a moment today, either corporately or in private to reflect upon your own Faith and work to improve your own relationship with God.
