Imposition of ashes 20214/11/2023 Modified Imposition of Ashes “for the pandemic.”īack in early January, on the 12th, the Congregation for Divine Worship and Disciple of the Sacraments issued a modification to the Ash Wednesday method of imposing ashes “in time of pandemic.” The Congregation website is here, but I do not see the decree on the website yet. I mean, the Bishops have been removing obligations so long now, that everyone forgot that we have a successful method of bringing sinners to Church every year without fail… Seems like it works even better than Christmas and Easter!īut, this year, I think the shine will be removed, sadly. So popular is it, that other denominations have been imitating it and having their own Ash Wednesday gigs… I mean, c’mon! When you are hot, you’re hot… Tell me any other day of the year that has no obligation to attend Mass that gets as high an attendance as Ash Wednesday? The success of Ash Wednesday to create favorable desire to go to Church should be lauded, right?
