Great Lent Explained: Spiritual Spring Cleaning for the Soul | Prepare for Pascha

About this sermon

Christ is among us. He is and always shall be. What if Great Lent is less about “giving things up”… and more about spiritual spring cleaning? In this powerful reflection, we explore how the season of Great Lent mirrors the deep, methodical cleansing of a home — removing dust, clutter, and disorder — but applied to the soul. Just as spring cleaning brings renewal to a house, Lent restores clarity, discipline, and spiritual focus through: • Prayer • Fasting • Almsgiving • Brotherhood in Christ This is not a private self-improvement challenge. Lent is a family event. The Church fasts together. The Church struggles together. The Church rises together at Pascha. Whether you are cradle Catholic, Orthodox, a convert, or just beginning your journey — this message will reframe how you approach Lent and prepare for the Resurrection. Because Lent is not about misery. It is about renewal. It is about purification. It is about unity. It is about becoming ready to sing with full heart: Christ is Risen. 0:00 – Christ Is Among Us 0:11 – Growing Up in Maine: Spring Cleaning Memories 1:14 – Why We Hated Spring Cleaning (But Needed It) 1:32 – Great Lent as Spiritual Spring Cleaning 2:06 – Distractions in the Modern World 2:27 – The Tools of Lent: Prayer, Fasting & Almsgiving 3:07 – Lent Is Not a Solo Effort 3:42 – One Family in Christ 4:36 – Struggling Together for Pascha 5:14 – A Powerful Lesson About Unity 6:18 – The Language of Love 6:36 – Why I Love the Season of Great Lent 6:53 – Preparing to Sing “Christ Is Risen” For more please visit https://www.youtube.com/@stjohnmelkite & say 3 Hail Marys for the priest 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
