It’s a way of clearing the decks or wiping the slate clean and putting ourselves right with others as well as God. This involves a period of inner reflection on what we have done and said that requires forgiveness. The first thing about Lent is the need to gauge a starting point. A season which can last beyond the next 40 days (47 if you include the Sundays, which I think you should, to be consistent) into the future. A season that requires not one, but all three of these things to happen in our lives. A season that is dedicated to three things: Repentance, Readjustment and Renewal. Today is Ash Wednesday, a specific day in the church calendar on which we enter the season of Lent. May I speak and may you hear through the Grace of our Lord Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Sermon for Ash Wednesday 2021 based on readings Isaiah 58:1-12 and John 8:1-11
