			:: The ''Shorter Book of Blessings'' has a rite for the blessing and distribution of ashes outside of Mass. No. 1062 of this book has the following indication:

			::: "This rite may be celebrated by a priest or deacon who may be assisted by lay ministers in the distribution of the ashes. The blessing of the ashes, however, is reserved to a priest or deacon."

			:: A lay minister may also lead a slightly varied version of the rite of distribution using ashes previously blessed by a priest or deacon, for example, when bringing ashes to the sick.

			:: The Roman Missal makes no explicit mention of the use of lay ministers to assist in the distribution of ashes blessed during Mass. I believe, however, that the indication in the Book of Blessings also applies to this situation whenever such help proves necessary.

			:: In the celebration of the sacraments it is thus the whole assembly that is ''leitourgos'', each according to his function, but in the "unity of the Spirit" who acts in all. "In liturgical celebrations each person, minister or layman, who has an office to perform, should carry out ''all and only those parts which pertain to his office'' by the nature of the rite and the norms of the liturgy."

			::: ''Emphasis added.'' Note that this applies to "the celebration of the sacraments." In the case of Ash Wednesday and the Feast of St. Blaise, we are dealing with sacramentals, not sacraments.''

 : Extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion should receive sufficient spiritual, theological, and practical preparation to fulfill their role with knowledge and reverence. When recourse is had to Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, especially in the distribution of Holy Communion under both kinds, their number should not be increased beyond what is required for the orderly and reverent distribution of the Body and Blood of the Lord.
