Annual Penitence, Fasting For Lent Catholic Church Opens Observance VATICAN CITY (UP)-The Roman Catholic church started the annual penitence and fasting period of Lent today Here in Rome priests in the 450 Catholic churches echoed Pope Pius Xll’s appeal for Romans to shake off “religious apathy” marring the Eternal City's sacred role. The last gay clamors of carnival celebrations had barely faded when priests started marking the foreheads of early churchgoers with ashes and murmuring the reminder, “Remember man that thou art dust and to dust thou shalt return.” Today’s Ash Wednesday celebrations ushered in the 40day preEaster period of Lent, a spiritual preparation for the passion, death and resurrection of Christ. It is a time of penitence, prayer and fasting. Organs in the churches were silent and priests wore purple garments in sign of mourning. The annual blessing of the ashes, highlight of today’s church rites, was being repeated in the afternoon in many parts of the world for the first time. The Pope earlier this month authorized the afternoon blessing for the benefit of persons unable to attend the morning Mass. The ashes, made from palms blessed on Palm Sunday last year, symbolized the transience of human things. Priests sprinkled them with holy water and incensed them before applying them to their own foreheads and those of churchgoers. Lent ends at midnight Holy Saturday, April 5, when bells ring i out t o usher in Easter Day and j give t>e world the annual message that Christ has risen from the i ! dead. 1 1 Frank Singleton injured his right ■ side this weekend when he slipped i on the - ice while working and fell - against a trestle. It is not yet 1 known if the ribs were broken. Trade in a good town — Decatur ? _ *
