Well Ash Wednesday is here – a perfect time to consider our mortality and the transience of our time on earth, a good time to reflect on our lives and where we still need to be transformed by God’s work within us.

Almighty God, you have created us out of the dust of the earth; Grant that these ashes may be to us a sign of our mortality and penitence, that we may remember that it is only by your gracious gift that we are given everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen
