Ultimately, there is something innate to the human soul that knows every so often, one must make a journey of descent, be smudged, lose one’s luster, and wait while the ashes do their work.
The ashes of Lent invite us to sit patiently so that some silent, inner gestation process can teach us what it means that we are dust and to turn from sin to the Gospel.
This Lent, let the ashes do their work. Allow them to awaken you to a renewed sense of urgency. To add virtue while eliminating vice. To transform and unburden you from that which cripples and enslaves.
