Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent and occurs 46 days before Easter.  Normally we will fast on meat on this special day.

We went for the 7.30pm Mass at BDC yesterday.
As usual during the Mass, ashes are imposed on our foreheads - this act is to remind us that - "Man is dust, and unto dust you shall return."

Emmett is super excited - it's his 1st Ash Wednesday Mass

Have a Holy Season of Lent everyone! 
And "Remember that thou art dust, and to dust thou shalt return"Genesis 3:19

ohh.. Happy Valentine's Day too..

Ellie Goulding - Lights

Thanks to Melanie Martinez from the VOICE 3, now I'm in love with this song..

Melanie's version:
Ellie Goulding's version:

I had a way then losing it all on my own
I had a heart then but the queen has been overthrown
And I'm not sleeping now the dark is too hard to beat
And I'm not keeping up the strength I need to push me

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine It when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine It when I'm alone

Home

Noises, I play within my head
Touch my own skin and hope that I'm still breathing
And I think back to when my brother and my sister slept
In an unlocked place the only time I feel safe

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone

Home

Yeah, hee

Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone

Home, home
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights
