Why did Jesus have to go to the  desert for 40 days?  He needed a quiet place without distraction so he could figure out what God wanted from him.  Likewise, we need to find a quiet place everyday during Lent to figure out what God wants from us.  God bless.  Based on the readings of Genesis 9: 8-15; 1 Peter 3: 18-22; Mark 1: 12-15.
