Not of This World

The ashes distributed on Ash Wednesday are a reminder that all the descendants of Adam came from the dust and to it they will all return. It is a reminder to humble our rebellious nature. We must be prepared and remain faithful, not only during Lent, but all year long, because we never know when death might take us. During this season the most important sacrifice we can make is to give up sin. We can only do this if we desire to change our life.
