Ash Wednesday Meditation and Blessing of the Ashes Rev Louise Flynn from Melbourne VIC EUR 8am CET | WA 3pm | QLD 5pm | SA 5.30pm | NSW/VIC 6pm AEDT | NZ 8pm |
Join with others to share in the first of the daily Lent Meditations and to celebrate Ash Wednesday. During the meditation, ashes will be blessed and foreheads marked with ashen crosses to mark the beginning of our lenten journey.
Throughout Lent, you can listen to audio recordings of the daily Lent Meditations HERE – at a time that suits you. Either a Mystical Cosmic Mass or a less formal Agapē will be celebrated online each Sunday in Lent.
Preparation
Prior to the Ash Wednesday Meditation, burn last year's palm cross or a piece of paper on which you have written your hopes for Lent 2025 and when cooled, grind to a fine ashen dust. Have these ashes ready to use during the Meditation.

As is usual for all services, candlelight and flowers will enhance the spiritual atmosphere.

Lent
In the forty days prior to Easter Sunday, we prepare ourselves to gain a deeper experience of the event of Golgotha and to unfold a greater understanding of the effect of the death and resurrection of Christ on each individual, this world, and the cosmos.

Ash Wednesday
This season of Lent begins with Ash Wednesday when palm crosses are burnt and our foreheads are anointed with ash to remind us that our body is but ash, but our spirit is eternal.
