And The Journey Begins...

This holy season is Your invitation to each of us, Lord Jesus. You invite us to accompany You. We follow You into the desert where we share Your hunger and thirst and face temptations. From the desert we walk with You through Your public life and ministry. The invitation here is for deeper faith and to grow closer to You and allow You to come closer to us.
Each day the cross looms larger; this cross which You embraced for love of each one of us.
May we set out on this journey not only with a sense of obligation, but with a desire to return love for love. May we die to ourselves so as to be filled by You and with Your risen Presence on Easter morning.
You came and set out on this journey so that we might live~may we too set out on this Lenten journey accepting Your invitation to share in Your Divine Life.
