Archbishop Thabo Makgoba - Ash Wednesday Day of Prayer and Fasting for Zimbabwe Cathedral Church of St George the Martyr
25 February 2009
Isaiah 58:1-9
Psalm 51:1-12
1 Corinthians 9:24-27
Matthew 6:16-21
May I speak in the name of God, who breaks every yoke and sets the oppressed free. Amen.
Robert Gray said this in 1876 “I am now going to begin daily prayers on Ash Wednesday.... Lent does not seem to be observed here, and there are no services at the Cathedral except on Sunday.
Things have indeed changed; we are not only observing Lent but have ecumenical and interfaith services regularly in this Cathedral.
Brothers and sisters in Christ, once more Lent is upon us.
