On USCCB.org, the invitation begins:
We enter this season of Lent recognizing the yearnings of our hearts which can be fulfilled only in Christ. The Desert Fathers and Mothers understood that in order to hear Christ’s voice, we must enter into the solitude of the desert. For the one who listens, the desert is not a barren place that is dead and desolate. Rather, it is a place that teems with life, and whose pregnant solitude reveals the Lord, present to us in all of creation.
The bishops offer us a deep reflection with key quotes from Church documents, and they’ve also gathered their insights into a compelling video introduction to Lent.
