Ash Wednesday begins the penitential season of Lent: 40 days (not including Sundays) of reflection and sorrow over our sin and its consequences. During this time, we also meditate on what Jesus Christ suffered for us because of our sins and what His perfect obedience to the Father, even unto death on the cross, brings for us.
Around the 6th century AD, seven psalms were designated as the Penitential Psalms. These psalms are expressive of sorrow for sin and were especially used during the season of Lent. These seven psalms will be the basis for our midweek Lenten meditations, beginning with the first of these, Psalm 6.
According to Psalm 6, What Is It To Be Penitent?
  A. Penitence is despair over sin.
 B. Penitence is trust in God’s deliverance.
