Ash Wednesday

Today Pope Benedict spoke on the meaning of the ashes that we have placed on our foreheads (in some places they are sprinkled on the top of the head). They are a symbol not only of the curse of sin and therefore our own death, but also of the resurrection which comes afterwards. So even on the first day of Lent we are looking forward to Easter.
