“Almighty God, you have created us out of the dust of the earth: Grant that these ashes may be to us a sign of our mortality and penitence, that we may remember that it is only by your gracious gift that we are given everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.” ~Book of Common Prayer
When lent comes around it feels like a deep breath. I love that this is a waiting time, a time when slowing down, introspection and grieving or even feeling emotion as it is- is accepted.
We pause.
We listen.
We recall.
We repent.
We return.
