Ash Wednesday Worship
February 22, 2023
Dear
brothers and sisters of our Lord Jesus Christ, on this day the Church begins a
holy season of prayerful and penitential reflection. Our attention is especially directed to the
holy sufferings and death of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Today, we consider the disciples. They failed to see that Jesus had to leave them so He could die and rise for them and for us. And they misjudged the selfless, loving act of the woman who anointed Jesus with expensive ointment. He saw it as a beautiful, selfless act of devotion that prepared Him for burial. We need to examine ourselves, lest we seek public approval or divine reward for our good deeds. Only what our Lord has done for us makes us pleasing to the Father.
