Lent
Ash Wednesday Prayer
Beginning Lent with humility and honest repentance
1 min read
Ash Wednesday opens Lent with a stark reminder of mortality and a call to repentance. This prayer marks that beginning honestly.
Lord, remember that I am dust, and to dust I shall return. Use these forty days to turn my heart back to you. Show me clearly where I have drifted from you, and give me the honesty to name it and the grace to change. Let this Lent be a real beginning, not just a season observed. Amen.
