One general way of arguing for the importance of religious faith is to note that a human life is shallow when it lacks a transcendent dimension. Without some purpose outside and beyond ourselves, our lives lose meaning.

Lent is the season of Christian formation. In Lent we get specific instructions about training in the Christian life. As you attend the Ash Wednesday liturgy listen for the invitation to Lent. It’s like a game plan or an exercise program for our Christian hearts.

Then listen just as carefully to the dismissal, right at the end of the service. In our Sunday morning liturgy, the dismissal is quick-“Go in peace, serve the Lord.” On Ash Wednesday the dismissal tells us how to serve the Lord in ways that will satisfy our human need for meaning.
