Lent is a journey into the desert, but it’s not about loss—it’s about discovery. Jesus goes before us, showing us that in self-denial, we don’t find emptiness… we find God waiting for us.What temptations are clouding your vision? Where is God calling you deeper? This Lent, don’t run from the desert—walk into it. He’s already there.Connect with Fr Sam: https://linktr.ee/frsamfrench
