Ash Wednesday in SecondLife

I didn't get a chance to attend a service today, but happened to log into SecondLife 15 minutes before one of the ministry team was due to start a service, so I stayed around.

I'd forgotten what a powerful service you can have around Ash Wednesday, and this was one of them. I listened to the Allegri Miserere and Tallis Lamentations in the background and found myself in tears a couple of times. I spent most of the service on my knees: it just felt right.

"Jerusalem, Jerusalem: convertere ad Dominum Deum tuum."

God, yes.

Christ, yes.

Did you have to bring your own ashes?

That is simply wonderful Mike! I am sorry I missed the service.. on the road and out of contact.

I attended the Ash Wednesday service in Second Life, and found it delightful and moving. I hadn't expected to get much out of it, but I came away feeling centered, and renewed in my faith.

I'm not sure how I ended up here.
Possibly clicking from my friend Mark Brown's blog?
Anyway I was pleased to poke around
& see the effect of a second life service;

Blessings on your Lenten journey

I have yet to attend my first service in SL but I'm looking forward to it. The Ash Wednesday one sounds excellent.

(nice to catch up with you again Mike)
