Mark 1:9-15
........And the Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness (after his baptism in the Jordan by John the Baptist). He was in the wilderness for forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels waited on him.........
Will we allow ourselves to enter the wilderness; to fast, pray, be tempted and be with the wild beasts this Lenten season? How else will the Angels minister to us? How else will we hear "You are my beloved children in whom I am well pleased"? I think Lent is a time to make real a wilderness space within us; a space in which to receive the words which are ours alone.
