A Touch of Grace

faith fills our hearts with love as sun through stained glass creates a different aura for each member of the congregation just forty days before the Son rises on Easter we move in procession, seeking the pastor's blessings Ash Wednesday is but a symbolic reminder our Savior took human form sacrificing, suffering and knowing of His fate all so we might have a touch of God's grace

The more we study His life, the more we are shown what He gave up for us...This image of the stained glass window is powerful..as you write, each member does see something different as the sun's rays beam through...

Lovely spiritual piece, my friend. I think the vicar at my gran's church burnt a little palm cross and marked his forehead with an ashy cross - have I got that right or am I remembering it differently? Somehow the cross burning part sounds unlikely...
