Lent: A Time to Make Room for God in the Temple of the Soul

March 4, 2020 - St. Paul teaches that each one of us has become the Temple of the Holy Spirit. But, my friends, throughout the days of our life each year the Temple becomes cluttered and filled with things worthless to our life in Christ and our Salvation; or worse, damaging to our souls. On this Ash Wednesday we are reminded that Lent is a time to simplify our lives and turn our attention so much more to the God of our salvation. It is a time to deliberately, by grace, rid ourselves of the clutter in our minds and hearts. It is a time to make room for God once again. Those who do so, to them He will come in and make His home.
