Ash Wednesday

Remembering that we are dust, we are heartened because Jesus himself has became our dust, our fragile flesh, our nothingness because of his immeasurable affection for us.  His life is hidden within our sinful flesh. Jesus' words to us this morning, "when you pray, go to your inner room, and pray to your Father in secret," remind us us that we can find God there, hidden within, in the depths of our hearts, our own inner room. Our lives are mingled together; God in us, we in God. Nothing can separate us. When go to our inner room, we wait for him in confidence
