I found that taking some of the words that ring out on Ash Wednesday, and seeing how they my apply to my life, help me to better understand the spirit of this Liturgical Season that has just begun.  I am wondering if looking at these words may help you?

A Blessed Ash Wednesday to all!  Let us pray for each other as we proceed through the Cross and Death of Jesus to His Resurrection and Glory!
