Ep 35 | Ash Wednesday: Why Ashes Comes First

Ash Wednesday na naman.Parang automatic na sa atin, no? Hahanap ng Mass schedule. Pipila para sa abo. Uuwi na may krus sa noo. Tapos life goes on.But have we ever paused and asked: bakit nga ba abo?Lent is forty days. May fasting, may sacrifice, may prayers. So why does the Church begin not with effort, not with rules, but with ashes?In this episode, we sit with that question.We talk about what ashes actually mean in Scripture, why the Church begins Lent with repentance before discipline, and why those simple words—“Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return”—are not meant to shame us, but to ground us.Because maybe Lent was never meant to start with what we can do for God. Maybe it begins with facing the truth about who we are, fragile, imperfect, in need of grace and mercy.If Ash Wednesday has ever felt like a checklist moment to you, this episode might help you see it differently.Tara, let’s enter Lent honestly.✨ Follow us for more kwentuhang faith:📍 FB: https://www.facebook.com/share/16UykUBmBE/📍 IG: https://www.instagram.com/fptl.podcastMay tanong, hugot, o gusto mong i-share?📩 Email us at [email protected]’t forget to follow, rate, and share this podcast.Kita-kits next episode, ka-Propeta! 🎙️✨
