Spring Cleaning

It is Spring time and for of us who enjoy the four seasons, spring is always something to look forward too. Why? Because it is around this time of the year when we celebrate Easter, the day our Lord Christ has resurrected from the dead and is also the time of the year when the Catholic Church celebrates the new church calendar year.

For normal human beings like me, spring also means spring cleaning where we clean up all the stains in the house, change the curtains and linens and carpets into fresh ones, vacuum out the dusts and rid the house of the cobwebs... so that it will look good as new.

Perhaps this should also be true for our inner beings. Remember the passage from the Bible where Jesus turned over the tables and sent the vendors away because they have made God's House into something like a palengke or market.

And here's a Jesuit song that has reminded me, time and again, to not be afraid:
