Today is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, where believers are marked with a cross of ashes on their foreheads to symbolize penance and mortality. It encourages people not to be ashamed of this mark and to use it as an opportunity to give witness to their faith. The phrase “remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return” is also discussed, emphasizing the fleeting nature of life and the importance of placing trust in God. Fr. Zygmunt offers these reflections as a guide for the Lenten journey.
