Day 1
Ashes remind us not only of mortality, but of ecological conversion. The earth is among the most wounded of the poor (LS, 2). This Lent, we confront our role in harming creation, hearing both the Gospel’s call to repentance and the cry of the Amazon and the suffering displaced. Our hearts rest in God — and God’s heart rests in the wounded earth.
