Catholics around the world received ashes on their heads as a sign of the start of Lent. CatholicPhilly.com presents a special section on the Lenten season with many resources to help people pray, fast and give alms to the poor.

Each day we feature a daily Lenten meditation plus reflections from our columnists and links to spiritual content from Catholic sources.

Begin Ash Wednesday and Lent with CatholicPhilly.com’s Lent 2014 section.
