Today’s Reflection
“Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” I am dust. I am made of earth. In that moment my earthiness, my fleshiness, my body itself became something holy.
—Anne Cumings, My Body Is Good: Giving Up Diet Culture and Embracing Body Positivity for Lent (Upper Room Books, 2022)
Today’s Question
Does it bother you to think about being made of dust and returning to dust? Why or why not?
Today’s Scripture
You are dust, and to dust you shall return.—Genesis 3:19b
Prayer for the Week
God of new beginnings, help me toacknowledge, perhaps for the first time,the beliefs about my body that I haveheld for so long. Guide me in sortingwhich beliefs are helpful and which areharmful. Lead me back to you andto this body that you called good. Amen.
