Today's idea, alien to the ego and to the world, is crucial to the thought reversal that this course will bring about. It seems to you that other people are apart from you, and able to behave in ways that do not affect your thoughts, nor yours on theirs. You think that they can sin without affecting your perception of yourself, while you can judge their sin, and yet remain apart from condemnation and at peace.
"When we realize that we are sinners needing forgiveness, it will be very easy for us to forgive others. If I do not understand this, it will be very hard for me to say 'I forgive you' to anyone who comes to me. It is not necessary to be a Christian in order to forgive. Every human being comes from God's hand, and we all know how much God loves us. No matter what our belief is, we have to learn how to forgive if we really want to love." – Mother Teresa.
Today we understand the truth that giver and receiver are the same. Give Him your faith today, and ask Him that He share your practicing in truth today. If you catch a tiny glimpse of the release that lies in the idea we practice for today, this is a day of glory for the world. Be willing to be taught. Hear the Voice of truth and heal.
All that I give is given to myself. The Help I need to learn that this is true is with me now. And I will trust in Him.

Yesterday was Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. According to the Canonical gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, Jesus spent forty days fasting in the desert before the beginning of his public ministry, during which he endured temptation by Satan. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of this forty day liturgical period of prayer and fasting. In the Catholic Church, Ash Wednesday is observed by fasting, abstinence from meat, and repentance.Ash Wednesday is a day of repentance and it marks the beginning of Lent. Ashes were used in ancient times, according to the Bible, to express mourning. Dusting oneself with ashes was the penitent's way of expressing sorrow for sins and faults
