Funny, Ash Wednesday winds up being the service I get to least consistently... (though yes, the ritual of it has always been striking/moving).
And yes, I find voluntary participation is crucial, and then the service seems to strike so many chords I have trouble keeping track of them all (I've actually taken to writing NOTES during the homily!).
