Today we welcomed our local community and Father Dominic to school for the start of Lent and the Distribution of the Ashes.
Today we gather, with Christians across the world, to mark the beginning of the holy season of Lent. Today is Ash Wednesday. God calls us to repentance, to bring our sins and burdens before him and ask his healing and forgiveness. What have you to bring? What do you ask forgiveness for? What in you needs the healing of Jesus Christ? In stillness, we come into the presence of the God who is always forgiving, always merciful, always compassionate, always loving.
"Lord, as we begin this holy season of Lent, may we turn back to you with all our hearts, in prayer, in fasting, and in giving alms to the poor; that our sins be forgiven and our hearts mended. Through our Lord, Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen."
“Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.”
