Preident Trump said this on Ash Wednesday:
Melania and I wish everyone observing Ash Wednesday a peaceful and prayerful day.
For Catholics and many other Christians, Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten season that concludes with the joyful celebration of Easter Sunday. Today, millions of Christians will be marked on their foreheads with the sign of the cross. The imposition of ashes is an invitation to spend time during Lent fasting, praying, and engaging in acts of charity. This powerful and sacred tradition reminds us of our shared mortality, Christ’s saving love, and the need to repent and accept the Gospel more fully.
We join in prayer with everyone observing this holy day and wish you a prayerful Lenten journey. May you grow closer to God in your faith during this blessed season.
Simple, powerful and true. Well done, White House Chaplains. But hey, he said it. Then there's the magical, anointed Obama. Remember him? Here's what he had to say:
Today, Michelle and I join our fellow Christians across the country and around the world in marking Ash Wednesday.
Lent is a season of sacrifice and preparation, repentance and renewal. Through reflection on the teachings that guide us, we reaffirm our commitment to God and one another -- and we remember those who are suffering, including those persecuted for their faith.
Through reflection on the teachings that guide us. What would those be, you mountebank, the Koran? And note, not a single reference to Christ or the Cross. Christians made it in, but only just.
Christians, you have a choice. Vote for the man who defends your faith or the Party that hates and denies it to the point of killing babies at birth, all in the name of freedom. The same Party, you may recall, which took the Little Sisters of the Poor to court for not providing abortifacients.
Wake up,
LSP
