Lent 1: Jesus reminds us today that yes, this season of Lent is about being tested but it is also about discovery. It is about discovering who we are in relation to God, and discovering how to live our lives in ways that affirm that relationship. It is about knowing where to place our feet on the path when God’s voice seems to fall silent. And it is about learning how to manage our way through those seemingly rough and lonely paths until we realize that God has never really left us.
