Over and over again this season, we will be reminded of God’s mercy,love, compassion, and protection. We will see love poured out and a heartpierced for our offenses. And over and over again, God will invite us to turnaway from our sins and idols, and from fragmentation, darkness, death, andall the things that break us and lead us away from salvation.Jesus is inviting us into his life—how he lives, thinks, and loves. He isshowing us what it means to be truly alive and truly human. He is invitingus into his heart so that he can reveal ours and bring us into communion.The journey you are about to make is dangerous, for if you truly followthe Lord into the desert, you will never be the same. If you enter into thistime with him from the heart, you will emerge with a heart that has beenchanged. Yours will be a heart that sees more deeply, is pierced more easily,loves more strongly, and lives more passionately. Jesus will be etched intothe crevices of your being.I invite you to not self-censor during these days as you read thereflections and answer the reflection questions. Be very honest. Jesus hasmuch to tell you; you need only say yes.We can try to go around, underneath, or over the Cross, but the life thatwe so desperately desire is on the other side, time and time again, little bylittle. The only way is through.So let us rise and be on our way.
