Ash Wednesday: Reasons

It reminds us of our origin from the dust

We’ll return to dust but our soul immortal

Sign of Repentance (metanoia), Penance

A sign of Humility, creating space for God

Acceptance of our nothingness without God

A reminder that God created us all

A reminder of God’s transforming power, from dust into human beings

A reminder that change/death is inevitable

A sign of our commitment to self-denial and radical Obedience to God’s will

A sign of Hope in God’s love and Mercy

A sign that we begin the journey of Lent with the Blessed Trinity
