A Cross of Ashes

Homily for Ash Wednesday, Year A
Joel 2.12-18 Psalm 51 2 Corinthians 5.20-6.2 Matthew 6.1-6, 16-18

These 40 days of Lent are a time to remember that we are not God, but that we desperately need God's grace, and we need to transform our lives day by day to become the people God has called us to be. The simple cross of ashes placed on our foreheads tells us everything we need to know about who we are, who God is, and how we are called to live.
