"Love is the light - and in the end, the only light - that can always illuminate a world grown dim and gives us the courage needed to keep living and working. Love is possible, and we are able to practice it because we are created in the image of God." Deus Caritas Est n.39
The depth of Jesus' love for us knows no limit. "I will lay down my life for my sheep" (John 10:15).
Seeing and recognising the Lord requires more than simple physical sight. Rather, it comes only through truly knowing and embracing the Lord and proudly saying to him 'Yes, Lord, you know I love you.'
Just as Jesus' 40 days in the desert served as a preparation for his mission, ministry and suffering it serves as a model for the way in which our Lenten journey can be a time of or spiritual renewal and preparation for true Christian discipleship.
