Month: May 2022

Our Lent starts with Ash Wednesday
An Ash cross is drawn of our foreheads
“Remember you are dust,
and to dust you shall return.”
Thus, we start our Lenten journey with Jesus.

For his last few months, we not only walk, but we live with Jesus
A walk of conversations, friendship
sharing, learning, and love.
A walk to Jerusalem
A walk to Golgotha and Death on the Cross
We stand at the foot of the cross looking up as Jesus dies,

Our mouths are filled with Ashes
For three days we are in mourning
Sackcloth, ashes, and darkness
Then, as the Sun rises on the third day
Light returns, Jesus arises.
Our ashes turn to Joy.

Let Lent be a model for our life.
As we strive to follow in Jesus’ footsteps
Carrying our Cross trying to walk ever closer to Jesus.
When our time has come, we will not need ashes or mourning.
We will reach out to our friend, our Lord and Savior,
And continue our walk following Jesus to eternal life.
Amen
