The Significance of Ash Wednesday

They may just be ashes, but Fr. Mike points out that what they
represent goes far beyond mere dust of the earth. With a simple
cross on the forehead, we are recognizing that we are far from
perfect, but that God loves and redeems us—not despite our
brokenness, but in the midst of it. If you want to start off your
Lent with a reminder of Ash Wednesday’s deeper meaning, listen to
Fr. Mike’s heartfelt words in this video.
