The Stark Humanity of Jesus and of Us
About this episode
The episode reflects on the themes of humanity, life, and death in relation to Ash Wednesday and the season of Lent.
Perhaps like you, I got smudged this last Wednesday. The 18th, as you may recall, was Ash Wednesday, the first day in the season of Lent. It’s a day that dares us think about this thing called life, but also about this thing called death – a day in which we are reminded of the dust from which we were created and the dust to which we shall return. Perhaps more than anything, though, it’s a day that reminds us of our humanness, that in the midst of being real, fleshy, messy human beings, a need for the Holy still exists.
