Ash Wednesday - 02/22/23

“Yet even now, says the LORD, return to me with all your heart, with fasting... rend your hearts and not your clothing.” -Joel 2:1-2, 12-17

“Whenever you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrites. . . . But when you fast, put oil your heads and wash your face...” -Matthew 6:1-6, 16-21

Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, a “marker” of the beginning of a journey of self-reflection and discernment, originating in the 11th century church. The journey of repentance is about “turning around” (the origin of the word) so that we might be in right relationship with God. In a sense, we are looking for love once again. When we look to God for love - not simply for the approval of others - and start with our own “turning,” we participate in the “turning around” of the world.
