Lenten reflections on Scripture Day 2

Lenten reflections on scripture Day 2 : Another phrase used during the distribution of the ashes is Genesis 3: 19 “You are Dust , to dust you shall return” (NRSV) the words that God spoke to Adam after the fall when the death sentence to the progeny of Adam was handed down.

Ash Wednesday and Lent remind us of the Fall, that we are all sinners. But the Lenten path is one which Jesus leads us down, where he takes us all the way to His passion, Death and resurrection, where he shows us that He is the way out of the death Sentence, and can restore us to eternal life!

meditating on this today I was reminded of the funeral ceremony of the Hapsburg Emperors of Austria to which I thought I would link for the occasion. I will post a song to go with the verse as first comment.

Again you are all invited to share and join in as we show the world who we are and whose we are.
