Ash Wednesday

 

Into the Desert



Jesus went into the desert where He fasted and prayed for 40 days and was tempted by the devil.

Ever since then, people have gone into the desert
To imitate Jesus;
To fast and pray and face their own demons.

This is what Lent is all about!

Lent is not about chocolate;
Or losing weight for summer;
Or even fish instead of meat;

Lent is about going into the desert;
Away from the world
To be alone with God
And face our demons.

The church doors are open;
Come to the quiet
And pray and face your demons as Jesus did,
And in the end angels will come and minister to you too!
