Ash Wednesday

The Christian tradition marks the coming of the high holy day of Easter with a season of preparation.  For the 40 days before Easter people who follow Jesus prepare themselves spiritually for what is to come.  We start the season by marking ourselves with ashes, and reminding ourselves that we are dust and to dust we shall return.

The Abundant Harvest joined St. Isidore again today as they held their annual Commuter Church.  Finding an empty lot on a busy street, we parked the truck.  Big signs informed people that there was Ashes, Prayer, and Breakfast.

Cars would pull in and be met by two priests.  They would pray with people and then impose ashes.  Then people would pull forward and volunteers would be serving them hot Starbucks coffee and freshly made breakfast tacos.

When I say fresh, I mean it.  We were able to have a farmer deliver eggs that were so good and so fresh. All organic, and free range.  It makes such a difference!  The whole stop was maybe 3-4 minutes, depending on how long they talked to the priest.  It was bringing the sacred to the everyday.

​We look forward to participating again next year!
