| Francis Rejecting the World and "Embracing Christ” |
He fasted for forty days and forty nights, and afterwards he
was famished.
Scripture:
Reflection:
Matthew tells us
Jesus was led into the desert to be tempted.
But first Jesus fasted. He was
preparing for what was to come. When we
go to the desert there are many ways that we can spend that time in preparing
ourselves to re-join the world at its conclusion: prayer, meditation, work and
singing. I wonder how many of us, would
include fasting for the whole period on that list?
