Ash Wednesday


The Lessons for Ash Wednesday are as follows:
Genesis 6:1-8 (CL)
Joel 2:12-19 (OTA)
1 Corinthians 5:1-13 (NT)
2 Corinthians 5:20b-6:10 (NTA)
Matthew 15:10-20 (G)
Matthew 6:1-6, 16-21 (GA)
Psalm 14:1-7 (Ps)

God noticed that every inclination of man's heart was bent on evil. We start the season of Lent and recognize our own sinfulness. All of humanity is born in the image of Adam. All of humanity is born sinful and unclean. Original Sin leads humanity into further sin. Thus, we start this season of Lent with a reminder of our sinfulness. We will say to ourselves, "We are dust and to dust we shall return."
