Our bodies and souls can get dirty with sin as well as with unclean substances, that's why every so often we need to clean up our bodies with a physical purge, and our spirits with repentance, fasting and prayer. Both our bodies and souls will not function at their optimum level if they are dirty and discoloured with sin and unhealthy foods. And the serious and soul searching time of Lent is a most appropriate time to do such cleansing of both our bodies and souls! Much LOVE!
