Desert/Flowers

I want to share Fr. Barron's reflection for today...which I think is encouraging and promising for times we struggle "in the deserts" of our life.

"What does the desert signify?
1.  confrontation with our own sin so as to see our dark side
2.  a deep realization of our dependence on God
3.  an ordering of our priorities in life
4. a simplification--a getting back to the basics
   any and all of these

Also a symbolic waiting in anticipation--in hope of better things and in search of hopeful deserts that flower, bloom...

As we near the end of Lent...end of our desert waiting...and move...toward the Holy Triduum, let's prepare for new flowers to bloom..."

I wish you new life....new flowers to bloom in your dailyness.
