Sermon on Ash Wednesday - Fr Sam Rossiter-Peters

Do you often hear preaching about loosing the bonds of injustice, undoing the thongs of the yoke, letting the oppressed go free or breaking every yoke?In this episode Fr Sam Rossiter-Peters invites us to ponder on the question for us today is, will our fasting, our prayers, our rituals do anything to us? Will they shape us into people who have stones in their hands, ready to judge? Or will they strip us of our self-righteousness and make us people of grace? Because let me be clear, if you're fasting, and the ashes that you're about to receive don't change your heart, if you're not willing to change, then you might as well leave. This has nothing for you. To loose the bonds of injustice, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke.
