Ash Wednesday - Beauty

We begin this day on the journey of Lent. Lent is a time to pay attention. It is historically a time of

heightened spiritual practices in the lives of Christians. We make more room for contemplation, more room for prayer, more room for study. This year, we will make more room for awe. We will become “purveyors of awe”–those who promote and dispense a precious good. We will discover that awe is indeed a precious good in the world, and we will seek to bring more of its elements alive in us, and in our community: Beauty, Wonder, Meaning, Curiosity, Delight, Connection, and Self-Giving.
