Ash Wednesday

Have mercy upon us, O God, according to your loving kindness.  According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out our transgressions.  Wash us thoroughly from our iniquities, and cleanse us from our sins.  For we acknowledge our transgressions, and our sin is ever before us.  Create in us a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within us; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

I found this on Facebook:

On Ash Wednesday, we are reminded that every sinner has a future and every saint has a past.
