Time of great holiness

Ashes are a reminder of our mortality. Our lives have an expiring date. The goal is, therefore, the conversion of our hearts to return to God. For Mother Theresa Seeking holiness by listening to God's voice is the goal of Lent.
Ash Wednesday invites us to do three important things: Almsgiving - doing acts of goodness and love, mercy, and compassion.
Lent invites us to silent mediation on God's word.
Finally, the Lenten season is a training to become humble. Job reminds us that, naked, we came on earth, naked we shall return.
Running back to God is, therefore, the right way to turn away from sins.

Jesus, I trust in you.
