Fr Peter Stravinskas: The Message of the Ashes, a Homily for Ash Wednesday Watch

Image of What is the message of the ashes? The Lord of the ashes demands a hearty and heart-filled decision to move away from any thing or any person which might lead you away from Him, the jealous God Who insists on your undivided love not because He needs it but because we need it, precisely in order to be fulfilled and happy, in the most profound sense of the word.

They love to be there in the picture with you, smiling and enjoying identification with someone who is perceived as successful, whether it is on the financial, career or even the spiritual front. However, when the storms come and the leaves begin to fall, when the difficulties of life throw a proverbial wrench in the works, they are quickly gone, having dropped you, as they say, like a bad habit.
