Christine Sine has written an Ash Wednesday prayer that really resonated with me ... I share it with you.
We have chosen to fast Not with ashes but with actions Not with sackcloth but in sharing Not in thoughts but in deeds We will give up our abundance To share our food with the hungry We will give up our comfort To provide homes for the destitute We will give up our fashions To see the naked clothed We will share where others hoard We will free where others oppress We will heal where others harm Then God’s light will break out on us God’s healing will quickly appear God will guide us always God’s righteousness will go before us We will find our joy in the Lord We will be like a well watered garden We will be called repairers of broken walls Together we will feast at God’s banquet table

We have chosen to fast
Not with ashes but with actions
Not with sackcloth but in sharing
Not in thoughts but in deeds
We will give up our abundance
To share our food with the hungry
We will give up our comfort
To provide homes for the destitute
We will give up our fashions
To see the naked clothed
We will share where others hoard
We will free where others oppress
We will heal where others harm
Then God’s light will break out on us
God’s healing will quickly appear
God will guide us always
God’s righteousness will go before us
We will find our joy in the Lord
We will be like a well watered garden
We will be called repairers of broken walls
Together we will feast at God’s banquet table
