Today is Ash Wednesday—the first day of the season of Lent.
Many of us will begin this season with an Ash Wednesday service where we will receive ashes on our foreheads and be reminded that our time here is transient, but I hope you choose to begin this season with the latest episode of the Sacred Ordinary Days Podcast, too. In it, we introduce the season of Lent and talk about Ash Wednesday, discernment, and one of the major practices of the season—fasting.
We’ll also continue the conversation as the season progresses with episodes exploring prayer and almsgiving—two additional practices of the season—and end with an episode during Holy Week before the Easter season begins. I love that we’ll be able to journey together in this season of self-examination and devotion, and I hope you’ll decide to come along.
