Catholic Ash Wednesday still awesome

Just a question : How many Catholics reading this letter tune in to " Relevant Radio " ? A " traditional Catholic " might find it neither relevant nor reverent. Just a psychological observation : The Latin mass gave a certain mystical " gravitas " to Catholic Sundays. There remains solemn " Ash Wednesday " which is still very popular : " Dust thou art, to dust thou will return " . Awesome !
 
 For me it is as inspiring as atheist astronomer Carl Sagan telling me in an ecstatic tone " what hydrogen atoms can do " in less than an eternity. As H.P. Lovecraft put it : no escape from cosmic horror !
