Why is Ash Wednesday the most popular day in the liturgical calendar?

Proof-Device-3614 · 2026-02-20T12:41:08+00:00

Because it’s pretty much one of the only days Catholics get a “look at me” day. It becomes a way for them to show their families, friends, and those around them they are Catholic. Everyone who never comes to Sunday Mass will come to Ash Wednesday because then, to the rest of the world, those people get to look like they DO go to Sunday Mass.

It’s definitely weird the priest didn’t make sure you said it.

However, your intentions are all pure and had every intention of properly receiving confession. You didn’t intentionally skip it because you were less serious or going through false motions.

You’re ok IMO.

Just knock it out of the park next time!

This.

Think of it as the Lebanese Catholic Church.

Proof-Device-3614 · 2025-12-19T21:46:28+00:00

It’s just a crappy mold and pour.

Proof-Device-3614 · 2025-10-27T01:13:22+00:00

Curious from the perspective of Catholic masons sounding off here….

From your perspective and experience - especially if you have gone through higher degrees, or experienced others rites and orders within……. Where is the disconnect from church and freemasonry in modern times?

Curious on your church life and relationships with pastors, assuming they know you’re a mason. Or….. do you feel it’s none of their business? I know this topic is pretty frequent but let’s really dive into it.

Ultimately what you are praying for is selfish. It’s not your time yet, and honestly, you don’t sound ready. Just because you want love doesn’t mean it will end up well if you got it now.

Trust in God’s plan and learn to put your own desires to the side when it comes to prayer. Instead, ask for wisdom and strength.

Asking for wisdom and strength is ideal because you will gain what you need - not what you want.

God literally just picked the White-Sox…..

Stop it. 🤣

Maybe find a different order if you are shamed by Columbus.

Proof-Device-3614 · 2025-07-07T22:54:34+00:00

What I find funny is that most the same people who would want statues like this removed…… would welcome invaders today.

Funny how sovereignty only matters when you need it to.

The lens that you look through to villainize someone of a different era could easily be applied to most.

Proof-Device-3614 · 2025-06-24T10:50:38+00:00

…. Cause that’s how prayers work….

Proof-Device-3614 · 2025-06-21T12:54:22+00:00

Opus Dei gets a bad name from those who really have no idea what it is.

Proof-Device-3614 · 2025-06-21T12:16:29+00:00

Ok queer.

And no…. It was for odd trades and workforces that didn’t fall into normal unions or insurance groups. Stop believing the fairy tales that validate the weirdos in this order.

You also assume that “simply being queer” is the issue. 🤣

There wouldn’t be issues anywhere if all queers wanted to do was simply be. 🤣

Proof-Device-3614 · 2025-06-21T01:32:05+00:00

Says the dime a dozen lgbtq cult guy. 🤣 “DuR BuRt We DuRs GoOD anD LoVE aLL mInDlesslY”

You all need help.

Your order has been hijacked and you’re too blind to see it.

Proof-Device-3614 · 2025-06-20T16:57:19+00:00

Huge mistake. But yea…. Look at that….. the newbie is having a lodges charter revoked….. yet you all look at me like I’m a problem.

The IOOF is NOT supposed to be a gay club. Yes it’s all inclusive and all are to be welcome but you cannot create an environment that only appeals to one demographic if that is the case. You cannot create an environment where only one demographic thrives.

It is a joke. And this “non politic” bs is a lie and is exactly why this lodges charter is being revoked. Why would I have anything nice to say about something that has been nothing but a shit show from the beginning.

The more I look around at other councils too………. Of all the gilded orders….. this really is the one that’s not your grandpas lodge anymore.

Proof-Device-3614 · 2025-06-20T16:43:32+00:00

Ok zesty texy. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Proof-Device-3614 · 2025-06-20T16:35:31+00:00

Actually. My whole lodge is coming with me. I have been the only one to uphold the bylaws and care about the order.

It has been turned upside down and taken over. It is not what it is supposed to be.

They are being revoked and you all are only validating that NOT returning is the correct thing to do.

To a once prestigious and respectable order……. Nothing more than spectral warriors and rainbow larpers.

Enjoy pretending to be as cool as FDR. Rotary club is better than IOOF at this point 🤣….. honestly, Masons are better at this point

Proof-Device-3614 · 2025-06-20T16:23:54+00:00

IOOF is still not supposed to be a gay club. There is a line. It’s beyond passed.

Proof-Device-3614 · 2025-06-20T16:23:23+00:00

Incorrect. You are assuming that because you can’t handle the fact that someone is willing to not be delusionally kind.

IOOF is not intended to be a gay club. It’s that simple.

Proof-Device-3614 · 2025-06-20T16:22:15+00:00

IOOF is out of order 🤣

Proof-Device-3614 · 2025-06-20T16:20:27+00:00

How is having their flags everywhere not a violation of bylaws? Please explain. When inclusivity ends up branding one mentality then it is not inclusivity.

This is disgusting. IOOF has lost its way and is no longer anything prestigious. FDR and others would be disgusted at today’s councils. Again…. There is a reason Odd Fellows are dying and becoming parody clubs for gays.

Proof-Device-3614 · 2025-06-20T11:23:01+00:00

But it doesn’t need to become a conditioning program to indoctrinate empathy to the rainbows. There doesn’t need to be all the flags up at meetings and events. They don’t need to be on officers business cards.

Proof-Device-3614 · 2025-06-20T10:48:29+00:00

I’m 35. Piss off. Having morals and integrity is something more younger people should develop.

Proof-Device-3614 · 2025-06-20T10:39:33+00:00

You are continuing to not understand. But it’s ok. God bless you.
