**I went to a church today where there were three ash ministers, with these words, "Repent and live the gospel."**

Although most Catholics may be familiar with the “Remember that you are dust and to dust you will return.” The Church also provides an alternative prayer when ashes are distributed. “Turn away from sin and be faithful to the Gospel,” which is taken from Mark 1:15.

Really? When did this change take place? Is there an official directive concerning this change. It would be great if you could post a link. Thanks
