Francis Rejecting the World
  and "Embracing Christ”
He fasted for forty days and forty nights, and afterwards he was famished.


Scripture:


Reflection:


Matthew tells us Jesus was led into the desert to be tempted.  But first Jesus fasted.  He was preparing for what was to come.  When we go to the desert there are many ways that we can spend that time in preparing ourselves to re-join the world at its conclusion: prayer, meditation, work and singing.  I wonder how many of us, would include fasting for the whole period on that list?
