Tomorrow we awake to Ash Wednesday. May this be the beginning of a meaningful and faith-fueling Lent season for all.
Jesus, you place on my forehead the sign of my sister Death: “Remember you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”
How not hear her wise advice? One day my life on earth will end; the limits on my years are set, though I know not the day or hour. Shall I be ready to go to meet you? Let this holy season be a time of grace for me and all this world“Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain wisdom of heart.”
– a meditation by Victor Hoagland, C.P.
