Episode 56 - Opening of Purgatory, Washing the Face as Cleansing of Sins. Humility is now guiding him towards Redemption.
The second episode on the opening of Purgatory, with the symbolic act of washing his face as a cleansing of sins - and as the theme of the second book, and Purgatory Mountain. Cato tells them two things;
"Go with this man, see that you gird his waist
with a smooth reed; take care to bathe his face
till every trace of filth has disappeared,"
v. 94-96, Canto I.
Which means to from now equip him with humility, and rinse his soul properly of the "filth" (sins) he was witnessing in the first book, the Inferno.
