THE DESERT OF LENT WE TRAVERSE WITH JESUS............
The 40 Days of Lent we enter into as we arrive at this 1st Sunday of this sacred season of Repentance and Reconciliation as Catholic-Christians, is like the desert in which Jesus sojourned at the outset of his Mission as the Christ and before embracing the Public Ministry by which He called and formed His Apostles and Disciples. For us who are followers of the Lord and Savior from our sins and selfishness this period of purification and renewal permit us to transform our sacrifice, contrition, and pain, into a restoration and reconciliation with God and refreshment in the Grace and Fidelity to Christ centered Values that allow us to witness to our Discipleship in Jesus. As we enter the desert of Lent and steep ourselves in the self denial and selflessness of greater Prayer, Fasting, and Charitable Works, may whatever separates us from the Divine and others dissipate as we refocus our willingness to be joined to to our eseential reality to be joined to the realization of the Redemption, the Paschal Mystery of Jesus Christ's Passion, Death, and Resurrection in Easter 2012, and in the Eternity of God in the Kingdom of UnEnding Life............Happy Lent !!!!!!!!!!!! Fr. Troy
