Ash Wednesday (March 5, 2025)
Lent begins with Ash Wednesday. It reminds us of our origin from the dust.
By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.” -Genesis 3:19
A Prayer for Ash Wednesday
Lord, as I begin this season of Lent,
I turn to You with a humble heart.
Help me to remember that I am dust,
and to You, I will return.
Grant me the strength to fast, to pray,
and to give alms with a sincere spirit.
Through this season of penance,
purify my heart and soul.
Help me to seek You above all things,
to walk in Your ways,
and to renew my commitment to love and serve You.
May my actions reflect Your mercy and grace,
and may I be drawn closer to You,
now and always.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Make this Lent the best of your life (Prayer, Fasting, Almsgiving).
