| Cross outside the SSJE Guesthouse, Cambrige, MA |
Brother David Vryhof, a member of the monastic order called The Society of Saint John the Evangelist (SSJE), has written a far better homily for today, Ash Wednesday, than anything I've ever written. I love how he digs into the traditional gospel text, from Matthew 6, and presents the cross of ash not as a sign of piety (thus dispensing with all the tired arguments for and against wearing ashes on our foreheads in public) but as a sign of profound need.
Brother David's Ash Wednesday sermon can be found here.
May you have a blessed and holy Lent. MP+
