-- LENT 2010 AT ST. MATTHEW'S --

 

"Remember that you are dust,

and to dust you shall return."

Lent, like Advent, is traditionally a season of preparation. Not only are we given these weeks to prepare ourselves for the events of Holy Week and Easter, but we are given this time to prepare our minds and hearts for repentance – the turning away from all that hinders us toward the God who offers us forgiveness. more
