Feb. 21, 2018 - On Ash Wednesday, we have ashes that represent our mortality placed upon our foreheads. Why? At the beginning of Lent Christ, through His Church, asks us to have our mortality on the forefront of our minds. Unfortunately, our culture has taught us that we should recoil at the thought of our mortality. But in the culture of the Kingdom of God to focus on and always remember our mortality is a great blessing used of God to bring us always to Himself in order that our soul may find healing and deliverance in time of need. This reflection is a focus on the great blessing of our mortality.
