Through The Desert

We begin Let by going with Jesus into the desert and encountering Satan.

What if Jesus were going today?

Would Satan take him to the top of Trump Tower?

Or into our desert where 300,000 new homes are plotted despite diminishing water sources, where greed outweighs common sense?

On Ash Wednesday, we received the Holy Dirt. Our challenge is to plant within it new seeds which can flower at Easter.

What do I need to sow today?

Hope?

Love?

Justice?

Compassion?

Satan is the "Father of Lies!"

What lies need to be uprooted from my garden?

And so we pray:

Deliver us from evil.

from over consumption,

for it is not by bread alone that we live.

And deliver us from contagion.

Bless all HEALTH CARE WORKERS,

as they confront the virus.

Amen
