The Mystery of Love
Ash Wednesday begins the Mystery
of Love. "Repent. Remember you are dust, and to dust you will return." Sobering words. We all die and turn to dust. It is a fact of all life.
Yet the Blessing with Ashes begins with 'Believe in the Gospel.'
We believe: ‘God so loved the world
that God gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Christ may not be lost but may have eternal life.’ Jn3:16
Thus begins the Mystery of Love and Redemption. We were lost, as good as dust, but Jesus, in becoming one of us, found us, scoops us up and carries us in his heart. Hydrated by his Body and Blood, we become a part of him. Our response is to strive to have the thoughts and feelings of Jesus in the everydayness of our lives with all its ups and downs: to live united in Christ's life of love. Jesus embraced our painful death. Let us embrace his humble life and be found in him and with him in glory everlasting.
