Temptation
Temptation comes in the ordinariness of our lives and makes us forget who we are and what we are called to do. It causes us to doubt the truth: that we are God’s beloved children.

Light in a Dark Place
In the strange moment of Jesus’ transfiguration on the mountaintop, Peter, James, and John fell to the ground, afraid. But Jesus did not leave them overwhelmed by their fear, in the face of the glory and mystery of God, and he did not leave them overwhelmed by fear when he went down the mountain and faced the growing conflict and darkness in his time. Jesus will not leave us overwhelmed by fear. In the darkness of our times, as we seek to follow along Jesus’ way, let our eyes be open to see the light of Christ, like a lamp shining in a dark place. And may God’s light shine through us to be a lamp shining for others who are afraid.

Turn and Follow
John the baptist assured the people who came to him in the wilderness seeking God, that God was coming to be with them in the midst of their wilderness. He urged them to prepare for God’s coming. “Repent, for the kingdom of God has come near.” Repentance doesn’t just mean remorse: repentance, metanoia, means turning to follow a new way. John urges us to be prepared to see new life coming out of places that seem hopeless, to see God with us there; to turn, and to follow.
