Before he begins his public life of preaching, Jesus spends forty days fasting in the desert.   After this time of fasting, he is tempted by the Devil.   In Lent, we imitate Our Lord's forty days of prayer and fasting in the desert solitude.  The desert is a place free of distractions, where we come face to face with ourselves and with God.   Jesus' undergoing temptation reveals to us the hidden value of our own trials and temptations.  <a href='https://comeawaybyyourselves.com'>https://comeawaybyyourselves.com</a>

The Value of Fasting and Temptations: Jesus in the Desert

"Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a while."  These words of Jesus Christ are an invitation to personal and intimate prayer.  The meditations offered in this podcast are intended to help the listener enter into his own prayerful relationship with God.  By reflecting on scenes from the Gospel, on other passages from Scripture, and on the insights of saints and spiritual writers, we can strengthen our faith in Jesus and our love for God.  In the Gospel of John, Jesus says, "I have called you my friends."  By regular meditation and dialogue with Our Lord in prayer, our life can be transformed into an ever deepening and loving friendship with God.
