Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, one of, if not my favorite liturgical day of the church year.
Sounds odd I know. But in my first year in coming into the church I attended my first ever Ash Wednesday service. I was amazed by the reverance, the service, the penitance.
I was so moved and humbled.
It is a day to remember the days in ancient times when people would seek redemption by adopting 'sackcloth and ashes'.
So tomorrow we accept the ashes as a sign of our wanting repentance. Our humbling before God for forgiveness.
I actually can't wait for tomorrow.
