Statement by President Obama on Ash Wednesday


The White House

Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
February 22, 2012


Today, Michelle and I honor Ash Wednesday with Christians around the country and across the world. This is at once a solemn and joyous occasion, an opportunity to remember both the depths of sacrifice and the height of redemption. We join millions in entering the Lenten Season with truly thankful hearts, mindful of our faith and our obligations to one another.
