Last evening, we marked the beginning of the Lenten season with our Ash Wednesday service. As is traditional, we had our foreheads marked with ashes in the sign of the cross as a sign of penitence and we confessed our shortcomings to God. I thought it was an excellent start to our journey towards Holy Week and Easter.
The meditation, part of our "Curses" series, was "Marked for Exile: The Curse of Cain." It was a reflection on the story of Cain and Abel, and its aftermath, comparing the marks we place on our foreheads on Ash Wednesday with the mark God put on Cain.
If you missed the meditation, if you'd like to listen to it again, or if you'd like to share it with someone, you can listen to an audio recording here.
