📜✨ NEW SONG: “#AshTag” — Ash Wednesday isn’t a “holy day of obligation”… but Sunday is. Yep. That’s the joke. (And also… kind of the point.) Ash Wednesday is the day the Church puts a sign on our forehead that basically says: “I’m not God. I’m dust. I need mercy.” And every year someone objects: “Didn’t Jesus say not to fast ‘to be seen’?” Yes. He did. And He also said: if you do it for attention, congrats—you got your attention. Reward received. Receipt printed. But ashes aren’t a flex. They’re not “look how holy I am.” They’re “remember you will die… so repent and believe.” It’s communal. It’s public witness. It’s the family admitting the same thing together: we’re needy, we’re mortal, and we’re coming home. So here’s your friendly reminder: If you showed up for the ashes—awesome. Now show up for the Resurrection. Because Sundays aren’t “optional side quests.” They’re the main event. 🎶 “#AshTag” — a snarky-but-reverent Lent kickoff for converts, cradle Catholics, and anyone who’s ever treated Sunday like “maybe.” #AshWednesday #Lent #Catholic #CatholicFaith #PetersBarque #CatholicMusic #BibleStudy #Catholicism #Repent #Fasting #Abstinence #SundayObligation #ChristianMusic 🔗 FOLLOW PETER’S BARQUE Website: https://petersbarquemusic.com X: https://x.com/petersbarque Instagram: https://instagram.com/petersbarque TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@petersbarque Facebook: https://facebook.com/petersbarque YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@peters-barque Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-7821522 🎧 LISTEN Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/peters-barque/1857703433 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/07uvm7SPGUVwYdxELtbXv8 ☕ SUPPORT Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/petersbarque Just a reminder: I’m not a musician—I’m a catechist trying my best to teach the faith with the tools at my disposal.
