In Ezekiel 9:4, one of the scriptural sources for Ash Wednesday, the voice of God says, “Go throughout the city of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who grieve and lament over all the detestable things that are done in it.” I know that we all have different culprits that we accuse of flushing our country down the toilet, but I’m sure we can agree that it’s appropriate to mourn the state of our country.
