The Spirituality of Lent: Journeying Together through the Desert into Freedom

African Catholic Voices

In this episode, Sr Jane and Fr Stan offer some spiritual insights on how we can journey together throughout these forty days with the Lord. The Lord invites you to walk through the desert with faith and trust in the Lord who leads us on the way. The Lord asks you today to leave your slavery to sin and fear behind; to leave your past behind; and to cast all your weaknesses behind you and to focus your gaze on the Lord who leads us to freedom. We pray that the spiritual insights contained in this episode will help you by God's grace to journey fruitfully and faithfully with the Lord and with your brothers and sisters, especially those who suffer or are alienated from us, into Easter joy. May this 'desert experience' bring to each one of us a fresh experience of new life in Christ as the Lord waters our souls with the freshness of divine love and life, and saturates our lives with the comforting mercy and healing grace coming down like gentle dews from heaven above-Sr Jane and Fr Stan
