22. Homily for Ash Wednesday by Fr. Peter Martyr Yungwirth, O.P.
from Parish of St. Vincent Ferrer and St. Catherine of Siena · host SVSC
In this homily, we reflect on how Blessed Fra Angelico’s artistic process reveals the true purpose of Lent. His sacred masterpieces were never meant to stop at beauty on the surface; instead, they draw the viewer beyond color and canvas into divine mystery. In the same way, the ashes placed upon our foreheads are not outward badges of holiness, but quiet invitations to interior conversion. Through the lens of Angelico’s prayerful craftsmanship, we explore how fasting, prayer, and repentance are meant to reshape the soul. Lent, like sacred art, is a deliberate work of spiritual beauty. As we journey toward Easter, we are invited to look beyond external practices and allow God to transform us from within so that our lives themselves become masterpieces of divine grace.
