Blessings to all this First Sunday of Lent!
In today’s reading from the Gospel of Mark, the Spirit drives Jesus out into the wilderness, where he spends 40 days, tempted by Satan.
In today’s reading from the Gospel of Mark, the Spirit drives Jesus out into the wilderness, where he spends 40 days, tempted by Satan.
Jesus is getting ready to begin his public ministry, where he will be faced with many trials. His 40 days in the wilderness will also test him as he faces isolation, hunger, and temptation. No doubt Jesus used this time to grow closer to his Father and prepare himself for his public ministry. He prayed and he fasted and he prepared to give all of himself for the sake of the kingdom of God.
Let us use our 40 days of Lent to grow closer to God and prepare ourselves, prepare our hearts to build the kingdom of God!
