Genesis 3:19
"In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."
light_modeReflection
By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return. Ash Wednesday reminds us of our mortality. We are fragile. We are dust held together by God's breath.
spaPrayer
Lord of Life, remember that I am dust. I humble myself before You today. My life is short; help me to live it for what is eternal. Amen.
