Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season in the church year known as Lent. Lent is a time to prepare for the celebration of Easter and to renew our life in the mystery of the saving death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We begin this holy season by acknowledging our need for repentance, and for the mercy and forgiveness proclaimed in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
We begin our journey to Easter with the sign of ashes, a biblical symbol of mourning and penitence of the community of faith.
We invite you, therefore, in the name of Christ, to observe a holy lent by self examination and penitence, by prayer and fasting, by works of love, and by reading and meditating on the Word of God, beginning with this service.
