February 14, 2018: Ash Wednesday

There have been many news stories this week about death, leading much credence to the statement, "Remember you are dust, and to dust you will return."

In faith, though, we know that God allows us to live life abundantly, so we don't have to resign ourselves to a meaningless existence and simply becoming dust.

As Ash Wednesday coincides with St. Valentine's Day, we remember how God poured out His Love for us in Jesus Christ, Who died, so we could live that abundant life.

Lent is our opportunity to respond to that Love from our hearts, turning toward Him, and seeking to grow in relationship with Him.

Now is our chance, now is our time, because God is here before us, inviting us into the way of salvation and new life.
