Ash Wednesday

Once again we have celebrated Ash Wednesday and with it we remember our human and fragile condition. We are pilgrims in this world and we struggle all the time with this world, so the church helps us to walk through and especially in this day the Church in her wisdom uses the formula  "Remember you are from dust and to dust you shall return". This is a powerful statement for us, because the Church says to us that we are gonna die and we will return to dirt, but our hope does not end there, our hope goes beyond dust or dirt, it goes beyond our human condition, and it rests in God. it is for that reason we go to Church this day. We recognize our need of  him, ashes represent to us that opportunity to say Sorry and start looking for the way to please him. Don't let sin crush you, crush sin with pray.
