Background info:
Ash Wednesday - Wikipedia

Mostly a Roman Catholic observance. I wasn't brought up Catholic, but was in a community that predominately was, and supported 2 parishes. The locals used to quip - one for the Irish and the other for the Italians.

A Blessed Ash Wednesday as we begin our Lenten journey

I have decided to give up my jelly beans for Lent. There won’t be any jelly beans in my home for the next 40 days.
This is going to take some real willpower.

Think of it as a spiritual “reset” @Capt Lightning of course that’s over-simplified but a basic truth

We, as a family, don't have any religious or spiritual beliefs, so perhaps I don't have a spirit to reset.
