Blessed Ash Wednesday!

February 17, 2010

Today is Ash Wednesday, the day in the Christian calendar marking the beginning of the 40-day period of Lent which prepares our hearts and minds and ultimately our souls for the most significant holy-day: Easter.  A time for reflection and soul searching, the season of Lent calls us to follow Jesus, watch what he does, listen to what he says and identify with Jesus in his mission.  The closer we come to Jesus, the more we become aware of the ways our lives and actions may not reflect the life and vision of Jesus.  This year, I think I will be using Goshen College’s Daily Lenten Devotional as a catalyst for reflection.

May this day–and the Lenten season–be one of repentance and self-denial as we look toward abundant life made available ONLY through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ!
