My mother’s generation believed in a season of spring cleaning, and my sister and I learned to appreciate setting aside a definite time of year for such tasks. We repapered and straightened shelves, gathered old clothes, dusted the ceilings, washed the windows, and generally spruced up the house. The end of our labor gave us a great sense of accomplishment and celebration.
Today begins a spiritual season of house cleaning known as Lent. Why practice Lent?
