As Christians begin the Lenten season today, on Ash Wednesday, we are called to remember our shared humanity and our capacity for spiritual growth. The ashes we receive are more than symbols; they represent our humility and the call for reflection.

They remind us that while we are fragile, we are also resilient, capable of change. Let us embrace this Lenten season with reflection, practice acts of kindness, and work together to build a more compassionate and united society. May this Ash Wednesday bring peace, purpose, and a deeper connection to our faith.
