Lectionary: 219
If the blessing and distribution of ashes take place outside Mass, it is appropriate that
the Liturgy of the Word precede it, using texts assigned to the Mass of Ash Wednesday.
Reading 1 JL 2:12-18
proclaim a fast,
call an assembly;
be reconciled to God.
For our sake he made him to be sin who did not know sin,
For he says:
do not let your left hand know what your right is doing,
And your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you
