A part of the journey through Lent that we start tonight is to acknowledge that we make mistakes. We we've talked about this. Sin is the, of creating the distance between us and God, not God creating the distance, us creating that distance. Yet God brings to us grace and forgiveness. And the point of receiving the ashes on the forehead or on your hand in the sign of the cross is to remember that, yes, we are made from dust, yet we are made from dust that has the breath of God breathed into us. And as we moved away from God and as we sinned, there is a cross that brings back this whole redemption and wholeness back to the created beings we were meant to be.
