As your forehead is marked with ashes, you will hear these words from Genesis 3:19 - “Remember you are dust and to dust you will return.” This blessing is an adaptation of the rite for the blessing and distribution of ashes on Ash Wednesday in The Roman Missal (Sacramentary), as found in The Book of Blessings prepared by International Commission on English in the Liturgy (ICEL) 1989.

We are reminded that we, like the palms that have been burned to make the ashes, will someday turn to dust. The Ash Wednesday service includes the invitation for each person to come forward to have the sign of the cross marked on their forehead. It sets one on a time of self-examination and repentance, to wait upon and prepare for the renewal given by God’s Spirit in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Ash Wednesday begins the forty-day journey of Lent between Ash Wednesday and Easter.
