“The time Mass is actually beginning is not the time for us to start thinking about walking to church; likewise, Ash Wednesday is not the moment to be thinking about what to do in Lent. The three Sundays of Septuagesima, Sexagesima, and Quinquagesima are indeed like the church bells reminding us of the imminence of Mass: time to call the children, time to get your coat on, time to leave the house.”

Are You Sure You're Ready for Lent?
The time to think about how to handle Lent is not the week of Ash Wednesday. It is now, during the ancient period called Septuagesima.
