	Ash (god) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ash was the ancient Berber god of oases, and thus was viewed as a benign deity.
		Consequently Ash was known as the lord of Libya, as the area, occupied by the Libhu and Tinhu tribes, corresponds roughly with the area of modern Libya.
		Ash was usually depicted as a human, whose head was one of the desert creatures, variously being shown as a lion, vulture, hawk, or snake.

	Ash Wednesday (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The ashes we use for this service are the ones from the burned palm branches and crosses from last Palm Sunday.
		Thus the phrase we are familiar with, “sackcloth and ashes.” The difference between the ancient Jews and modern Episcopalians is, they put piles of ash on top of their heads, while we have a simple, small cross, smudged on our foreheads.
		God is interested in our fasting, if it’s done so that we can get closer to God, rather than to make people see that we are more penitent than they are.

	Ash Wednesday, Lent, and Easter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Ash Wednesday begins a forty day period during which Christians remember their sinfulness, repent, ask God's forgiveness, and recognize that God's forgiveness comes at an infinite price -- the death of Christ on the cross on our behalf.
		On Ash Wednesday, the historic churches mark the beginning of this period with a special service explaining the season, calling the people to repentance, signifying repentance with ashes, by which a cross is marked on the forehead of the penitent Christian.
		Ash Wednesday should remind Christians that they are sinners in need of a savior, and that their salvation comes at the sacrifice of God's Son:

		Ashes can be prepared either in the Sanctuary at the beginning of the service - or (and it is often the best option given fire regulations and problems with smoke) earlier in the day.
		If ashes are prepared ahead of time, those who bring their palm crosses to the service are invited to lay them upon the communion table as they come forward to receive the ashes.
		This anointing, and the cross of ashes, are both reminders of the mark of the Lamb as it is described in the Revelation of John.

		With such thoughts let the ashes be put upon your head, while you ask in all humility and with a contrite heart, for God’s mercy and grace.
		God to mercy: Thou hast mercy upon all, O Lord, and hatest none of the things which Thou hast made, winking at the sins of men for the sake of repentance, and sparing them; for thou art the Lord our God.
		And rend your hearts and not your garments, and turn to the Lord your God; for he is gracious and merciful, patient and rich in mercy, and ready to repent of the evil.

	A History of Muslim Philosophy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		God is knowing, for instance, means that God possesses knowledge as an attribute, which is inherent in God, and although it is not exactly the same as His essence, yet it is not something quite different from and other than His essence.
		God's essence, for instance, is not knowing or powerful or wise, but so far as their ultimate haqiqah (reality or application) is concerned, the attributes are inherent in the divine essence, and hence are not something quite different from or other than the essence of God.
		God, the ultimate principle, is, according to the Ash'arites, a necessary existent; His existence is identical with His essence.

	Ash Wednesday
		Through the life, death, and resurrection of Christ, God demonstrates and offers an alternative to beginning in the trash pile, and after a brief, wretched, and sinful life, returning there as a final destination.
		On the other hand (which by the way, doesn’t know what the first hand is doing), God’s mercy is ALL we can pray for, because it comprises and encircles the totality of all our desires and is the very foundation of our faith in Christ.
		God has committed himself to us in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

		These were: (1) the unity of God; (2) divine justice; (3) the promise and the threat; (4) the intermediate position; and (5) the commanding of good and forbidding of evil.
		In their reckoning, God's 'speech' belongs to this category of attributes, for it does not make sense to think of his commandments as existing before the creation of the beings to whom they are addressed.
		God makes the rules and whatever he decrees is just, yet God himself is under no obligation: if he wished, he could punish the righteous and admit the wicked to paradise (see Voluntarism).

	Ash
		The pollen of the Ash is totally dependant on the wind for spreading it about, and so protective calyces would only get in the way, as would petals, which have the function of attracting insect-pollinators with their bright colours.
		The Ash is the last tree to dress itself with leaves in the summer and it is often the first to shed its greenery in the autumn.
		Ash is an axis around and through which the different energies and dimensions of life can connect and harmonise with each other, endlessly changing and flowing in the process.

	Ash Wednesday
		Ashes are a biblical symbol of mourning and penance.
		Thus when the priest uses his thumb to sign one of the faithful with the ashes, he says, "Remember, man, that thou art dust and unto dust thou shalt return," which is modeled after God's address to Adam (Genesis 3:19; cf.

	The Most Uncomfortable Day of the Year (Mk 1:15)
		Ash Wednesday is no doubt further uncomfortable because the act that is central to it -- repentance -- is usually perceived as a most disquieting proposition.
		In the liturgy for the imposition of the ashes, the words alternate between the so-called "fall" story in Genesis and Mark’s summary of Jesus’ central theme for preaching: "[Remember] you are dust, and to dust you shall return" (Gen. 3:19), and "Repent, and believe in the gospel" (Mark 1:15).
		Further, the story that calls us together and forms us is one of a God who is in relentless pursuit of us and of the divine dream that those relationships might grow and thrive and that we might indeed have life.

	Catholic Culture : Liturgical Year : February 09, 2005 : Ash Wednesday
		The use of ashes is a survival from an ancient rite according to which converted sinners submitted themselves to canonical penance.
		The blessed ashes are then "imposed" on the faithful as a sign of conversion, penance, fasting and human mortality.
		The ashes are blessed at least during the first Mass of the day, but they may also be imposed during all the Masses of the day, after the homily, and even outside the time of Mass to meet the needs of the faithful.

		The ashes are collected and stored away in some sacristy closet until Ash Wednesday arrives, when they are resurrected from their sacristy tomb and laid upon the altar for blessing.

	Ash Wednesday Reflections
		Ash Wednesday, which starts the season of Lent, has been called a Christian Yom Kippur – a day of repentance when we focus on all the ways we have tried during the past year to put something other than God’s love at the center of our lives.
		The Ash Wednesday liturgy holds up to us a powerful image of what it means to be separated from God and how it is that we as Christians should respond to that separation.
		Ash Wednesday reminds us of the response that God desires from us, who have wandered away from the path.
