Yesterday was Ash Wednesday...

...so I'm a day late with this post.


From the Book of Common Prayer*



Commonly called Ash-Wednesday.
The Collect.
Almighty and everlasting God, who hatest nothing that Thou hast made and dost forgive the sins of all them that are penitent; Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins, and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of Thee, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.



*I forget which year the wording is from. (The 1928 BCP?)
