What does it mean to be led into the wilderness?
To find yourself without bearings, without direction, without food, nourishment or company? For many the wilderness is to be without direction.
Not knowing how to find love, meaning, joy in life.
Losing faith, hope, friends, and commitment. This seems to be part of life.
In the wilderness, which we symbolize in the sacred space in our Church, we are reminded that Jesus was tempted,
tempted to lose direction and change his plans.
Can you allow yourself to find refreshment, faith, self-confidence?
when you feel in the desert and in the wilderness of aloneness
or of failure or confusion? In your desert wilderness you will know God
who comes looking for you then.
If you trust and hope you will know that you are not lost.
