🕊 Happy Ash Wednesday from the RN Admin Team!🇻🇦

As we begin this sacred season of Lent, we are reminded that "you are dust, and to dust you shall return" (Genesis 3:19). Today, the ashes on our foreheads call us to repentance, prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, drawing us closer to Christ.

May your Lenten journey be a time of renewal, grace, and deeper faith as we prepare our hearts for Easter. We hope this time is filled with humility and hope, seeking God's mercy and striving to grow in our personal holiness for all of our followers.
