Father Edmund Vargas of St. Michael Catholic Community in Calgary explains that Ash Wednesday marks a call to repentance, humility, and spiritual renewal. He says the ashes remind believers of their mortality, their dependence on God, and their need for forgiveness through Christ. Lent, he notes, mirrors Jesus’ 40 days in the desert and invites Catholics to empty themselves through prayer, fasting, and charity. Vargas emphasizes self-denial not only in food but in harmful habits like gossip, encouraging generosity and confession in preparation for Easter and a deeper return to God.
