All:    We remember that God made us from fragile, blessed dust And breathes through us the breath of life and love. One:   From dust we are created in God’s image and to God’s good dust we shall return. All:    With dust and oil we claim the mark of God’s beloved creature. One:   Today we begin our 40-day Lenten journey to discover who we are created to be as God’s beloved. All:    In daily practices of prayer and service we will embark upon this Lenten journey. One:   We follow Jesus, God’s Beloved Child, bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh in whom we see God’s image most clearly. All:    So come, let us pray for strength and imagination to follow Jesus wherever he will lead us this Lent.
