The season of Lent is upon us yet again, and it has made me reflective. Many of the habits and devotions we were most proud of have fallen into neglect. Again, it is time to tuck away our sweets and dust off our prayer books: the spiritual equivalent of a spring cleaning. It is time we put ourselves back in order, but not in just any order. The Christian is in the habit of putting last things first. From its beginning, Lent orients us towards our end, our death, for to dust you shall return. We are ordering our hearts, preparing our wills for a fight: a fight to the death, our own.
