Into the Wilderness

“Jesus… was led by the Spirit through the wilderness …” – Lk 4.1

Where is the Spirit leading us? Where is the Spirit leading the Church?

Sometimes, we may feel like we are being led into the wilderness – a place where we are challenged, where we are tested, and where we may feel that we are lost.

Today’s gospel reminds us that Jesus intimately experiences the human condition. He is here with us. He journeys with us through the wilderness and gives us an example to follow.

Jesus trusts in the relationship that He has with his Father. From this relationship, Jesus draws strength and comfort.

How might we journey in a time of wilderness?
