Remember That You Are Dust

​The Lenten Season of fasting in the Maronite Church begins today, February 20th, and is known as Ash Monday. Today, all over the world, the Maronite Church blesses and distributes ashes. The faithful are blessed with the ashes in the form of a cross painted on their forehead as the priest recites: “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”

To receive the ashes is both a public display and a personal testimony of grieving your sins, and that, with a humble and repentant heart, you trust in the Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ to be changed and transformed from within.
