LENT: GREEN SHOOTS IN THE DESERT
Lent is a time to remember we are desert people—called to risk following Jesus into his desert and our own. Deserts come in many guises: geographical and spiritual, searingly hot or witheringly cold, bathed in all-exposing light or swathed in impenetrable darkness. Whatever its character, the desert leaves you with little choice but to attend to the call to go deeper, to journey closer to the core of your being.
If you stand still and ask for the grace to put down a deeper root, God will not fail to surprise you with new possibilities.
