Lent projects are the Spring Cleaning of my Soul. Every day for the days of Lent, I post a reflection about how I’m trying to make myself a better person. The three pillars of Lent are prayer, almsgiving, and fasting, so I use those as the basis of my reflections. These are my reflections from 2020, as we struggled with the realization of what COVID-19 was going to become, culminating in an Easter unlike any we’ve ever seen before – an Easter without Mass.
