"That's why Lent begins with that particular sign, a sign of our mortality. To remind ourselves, 'I am not going to live forever, and given that, is there something I need to do?' That's the great invitation of Lent—to self-examination and repentance."
In this week's message, Bishop Alex points out the grace of the Lenten season—that it is an annual opportunity to reflect on our regrets and to reorient our lives—and invites us all to commemorate the start of Lent by joining an Ash Wednesday worship service on February 14.
