Jesus was led into the desert by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil...spending forty days and forty nights [there].- Matthew 4:1-2
Reflection: The season of Lent keeps inviting us, in a pressing way, to meditate on this great truth: love is of God. This is a living, present reality that we should never forget.
- Pope John Paul II
Prayer: Lord Jesus, as You spent forty days in the desert to prepare for Your mission, grant that my Lenten preparation may prepare me to celebrate the Holy Mysteries of Your Death and Resurrection.
