These desert days

I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise; I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness (NRSV Ps 138: 1-2)

Lent takes us into the wilderness where God feeds us with the Bread of Life. This annual traning period fits us for the battle against our self-centeredness and the myriad distractions of the world. We love the world and one another all the more for our desert times.

Thank you Oh, God.
