A Time for Repentance

Remember, O man, that you are dust, and unto dust you shall return.

~ Genesis 3:19

 

Today is Ash Wednesday and marks the start of the Lenten Season.

Ashes are imposed on the foreheads of the faithful.

Anointing oneself with such ashes is the penitent's way of expressing sorrow for sins and faults.
