The Washing Machine 

From: Lessons my Grandmother taught me 

F. Herrera, MTS 

Lent is like a washing machine 

A time to come in with all we need cleaning, 

Face it and enjoy God’s forgiveness 

After the agitation of getting all the dirt out. 

But, the goal is not to get stuck in the dirt 

The goal is to experience the Cleaning 

In fact, every mass, not just lent 

should be experienced as a great cleaning 

Coming out feeling washed 

Freed 

Released 

Soaring with joy and gratefulness!!
