Entering into the Desert

Fr. John Burns examines the Week One theme of Restore, the desert. He discusses how the wilderness of the desert is a place where healing can begin and where restoration is found.

The Desert

On the first Sunday of Lent, we are led by the Spirit into the desert with Jesus. The beautiful thing about the desert is that it lays all things bare and Christ goes before us. We do not go into the desert alone, and the Lord will not reveal anything to us that he does not wish to attend to and heal.
