Psalm 103:13-14
Down into the Valley.

Ash Wednesday begins the season of Lent.  It heralds a season where people are called to repent, which means to “to turn”.  It is in this season that God calls you, and calls all people, to turn anew to Christ as he journeys to the cross.  We are called to follow him, and in so doing to receive the gift of life, and not the sentence of death which we deserve because of sin.  We are called on a journey with Jesus to the cross in our lives.  [Ash Wednesday]
