Faces washed - ashes gone - the second day. So we are into our Lenten experience.
A day to reflect on yesterday's ashes - the prayers spoken - the songs sung - the thumb on
our forehead - the ash that fell to the ground. Did anything happen - was there a spark of
hope - a glimmer of anything? Why did we go - what did we expect - God's forgiveness? The end of the second day - close at hand - what lies ahead - questions - hope - faith?
When Jesus spoke to the crowds many wondered - questioned - speculated - sought answers. Today we do the same - two thousand years later - nothing has changed - God is still God - Jesus is still Jesus - waiting - for you.
