As we began our own family, my husband and I, who share our faith, tried our best to instill these same traditions into our children, but admittedly this wasn’t always easy. Even today, as I prepare to go and receive this beautiful sacramental on Ash Wednesday, I am saddened to realize that not all of my children will do so. And while it secretly pains my heart to know this, I’ve taken to striving toward practicing eternal Truth in the way I love each of them. I know this season of Lent, as we begin walking with our dear friend and savior Jesus, He looks not only at me, but at each of them, too, with eyes brimming with deep love and compassion, and sees each of us exactly where we are at. This day is a reminder to me that I too am dust, and I want every single day to let those I love know that I love them. I want to surround them with reminders of this, with beauty which will elevate and dignify them even when I’m not there with them. My prayer and my hope for each of you, is that this Lent, you surrender yourselves, your children, and grandchildren, whatever your concerns, your worries, your crises, your wounds, your own crosses into the eternal embrace of our Father, just like Jesus did on the cross - “Into your hands, we commend them”. Because doing so, allows Him to bring about the joy and magnitude of the Resurrection.
