The Lenten season begins with the sign of ashes—the fragility and uncertainty of human life. For this prayer for Ash Wednesday, we come to the God of dirt and dust who meets us in our humanity—in our everyday lives, work, and parenting. We ask for cleansed hearts and give thanks for compassionate, infinite love.   You can check out Liturgies for Parents on Instagram for more prayers and encouragement and pick up your own copy of To Light Their Way wherever books are sold.
