Thus says the Lord: I will lead her into the desert and speak to her heart. Hosea 2:16
(First reading for February 26, 2006)
Is the desert a silent place? It must be. Cultivate silence, He says, and, if you won't, I will lead you to the desert so that you can hear me.
Where did I find so much noise? The printed word, the Internet, the media, the phone--can I leave them all behind? Perhaps not for 40 days, but for two, yes, I can. I can at least begin Lent that way.
I have no doubt that if He chooses He can impose a great and terrible wilderness on those He loves.
