Tradcatknight: Treasure In The Desert
By: Eric Gajewski
It is that time again. It is time to follow Jesus out into the desert. But how many people fail to recognize the treasure which is buried out in the vast openness of seemingly nothing. The world mocks at us for something that seems to contradict all rationale. How and what to find out in a place where the worldly avoid? We have a great opportunity this Lent to grow in virtue and holiness yet this will not be accomplished without your friend the desert. It is a place where arid prayers mayest be purified in so that the heart can eventually find the Spring of Life Himself. It is hot and virtually no life is to be found and for good reason. Modern man has built up so many distractions and false securities around him that now silence and solitude has become all but an afterthought. This Lent and in general (in the spiritual life) you reap what you sow. Your feet must follow the Savior’s in self-denial out into the desert if you ever have hopes of achieving the Land flowing with milk and honey.
