LENTEN period is here again a period of sober reflection. A period in which we fast from many things in Life. We try to let go and detatch ourselves from that in which we might see as an addiction and can't let go. We draw ourselves and really try to run far away from sins and it's desires.
One thing is that sin is very bad and would always comes with punishment. We on the other hand should try greatly by God's Grace and all means try to avoid sins. Avoiding sin is good and another thing is also to avoid the occasion of those sins, those occasions can try to lure one into those sins.
Ash Wednesday now marks the very beginning of the lenten period. It is the first day that the lent begins. We hope to begin it in a very remarkable way of the Lord.
Have Mercy on us oh Lord for we have sinned. Like the psalmist likewise we are pleading with the Lord to have mercy, pity and forgive us all our sins for we have sinned against you Lord. We have done what we are not supposed to do and we have done what we are not supposed to do. Our sins are before us but you oh Lord are ever ready to have pardon on us and forgive us our wrong doings against you.
The Ashes being put on our forehead is a sign that dust we are and dust we shall return. All forms of pride in us should always be avoided, we are like the dust of the earth a breeze and dust we should also return back.
A period of sober reflection, prayer, fasting and Almsgiving 🙏. This is indeed a great period we should return back to our Creator, we should always reflect, pray without season against the devices of the evil one, fast from the sinful desires of the evil ones and help people in one way or the very other in life.
This is really a great time and a time of prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving in our Lives. A forty (40) days of Christ suffering for the sins of humanity in the whole world. We hope to suffer in one way or the other with him and not in any way make him to suffer more for us.
We keep hoping for the Best 🙏
