Ash Wednesday
Today is Ash Wednesday - 46 days before Easter. It's called Ash Wednesday due to an old tradition of the people marking themselves with ashes in the shape of a cross symbolizing their repentance before God.
It's also know as a day of fasting. I'm not a very good faster. I've done it only a few times in the past. One time I endured a week of minimal food. Other times just a day. I have a friend who fasts every Thursday.
Today I'm fasting - I'm trying it. Just fluids.
I'm hoping that this time of lent will deepen my understanding of the work of Christ in me and the world.
"Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me a sinner."
