We come from the earth, and will again become earth.  Rather than making us feel inferior, a true sense of our connectedness and equality of worth with all creation should make us feel blessed — no more than any other part, but still not insignificant.  We are sacred, just as the earth and each part of creation is sacred.  God made us, and declared each of us good.  God did not claim any part of creation to be better or best, nor worse or worst.  Each is in need of the other in order for the harmony God intended to be fulfilled.  We are all dust...sacred dust — a reminder for us to be humble as we con-sider our relationship with the earth and all its inhabitants, and a recognition of our relationship with the Creator God who, though loving us unconditionally, expects of us to act responsibly as we do the same.The ashes used in our service are the charred remains of the palm leaves.  Though once bound together in unity as a branch of honor and praise, they are now disintegrated into brokenness and the darkness of sin.  They summon us to remember that Lent is a time for putting away our “Hallelujahs!” and “Hosannas” of celebration so that we may reflect on how we may be better restored to right relationship with God and our neighbors far and near.  Even as the ashes remind us of our finitude and brokenness, so the oil reminds us of God’s healing balm that rejoins those ashes and mixes with them to create a renewed spirit and a restored earth.  It is a reminder of God’s creative power to take dust and breathe into it life.  That is God’s good news! “Repent, and believe in the good news.” --- Mark 1.15
