IT STARTS WITH ASH WEDNESDAY.....




Lent lasts 40 days from Ash Wednesday until Holy Thursday. The Lenten journey begins with ashes, a solemn reminder of life's limits, as we hear "Remember you are dust and to dust you shall return". Ash Wednesday calls us to repent of our sins and to return to communion with Christ, in preparation for the joy of His Easter resurrection.


What does this mean for my Lenten journey?


A few days ago I posted one of my favorite chapters in the Bible~ 1 Corinthians 13. Through Lent I like to spend more time in prayer and at church. I also like to read many scriptures that remind me of Christ and His great sacrifice. His great love for us.


I will be sharing some of my favorite scriptures throughout Lent and after Holy week.


God Bless you all!
