REMEMBER: You Are DUST, and to DUST You Shall Return

REMEMBER:

You are dust, and to dust you shall return.

REPENT,

and believe the GOSPEL+. 

+  +  +

ALMIGHTY GOD . . .

THOU hast created us out of the dust of the earth. 

Grant that these ashes may be to us a sign of our mortality and repentance, that we may remember that it is ONLY by Thy gracious gift that we are given Everlasting Life, through JESUS CHRIST our SAVIOR+.  Amen.

+  +  +

ALMIGHTY and Everlasting GOD Who hates nothing that THOU hast made and Who forgiveth the sins of all who  heartily repent; 

  Create in me a clean heart, O GOD; 

and renew a right spirit within me. 

That I, lamenting my sins and acknowledging my wretchedness before THEE, 

May obtain of THEE, the GOD of all mercy and truth, a perfect remission of my sins, 

Through The LAMB+ of GOD, JESUS CHRIST our LORD, 

WHO+ lives and reigns with THEE and Thy HOLY SPIRIT, 

ONE ELOHIM,

to the ages of the ages. 

Amen.  

+  +  +

 Repent, and be baptized 

every one of you 

in the name of JESUS CHRIST

for the remission of sins, 

 and ye shall receive the gift 

of the HOLY SPIRIT. 

Acts 2:38

+  +  +

Ashes to ashes, 

dust to dust 

in sure and certain hope 

of the resurrection 

unto Eternal Life, 

through  

Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA , 

our LORD.
