Judean Desert & Journey thru Lent

With Ash Wednesday, we begin the Lenten season. Come along with Mary Jane Fox through the Judean Desert, and learn about what it’s actually like to walk in the same place where Jesus experienced his temptation.

During our journey, you will hear about:

• Why did Jesus go to the desert? How far would he have had to walk to get to there? How far was it to the nearest town?
• What might have Jesus experienced during his time in the Judean Desert? (Climate, storms, isolation, hunger, etc.)
• How we apply what we’ve learned on this audio pilgrimage to enter into a desert experience during this Season of Lent?

Jewel for the Journey

The devil is afraid of us when we pray and make sacrifices. He is also afraid when we are humble and good. He is especially afraid when we love Jesus very much. He runs away when we make the Sign of the Cross. – St. Anthony of the Desert
