This Lent, we’re invited             to reflect on the idea of illusions—those things                           that seem real but are actually just tricks of the eye.          We think of Jesus in the desert,       facing temptations that promised so much, yet He saw through them.                    We also remember the Israelites, who wandered through              the wilderness, often distracted by the past, yet only found true peace when they                           trusted in what was       ahead. As we walk through Lent,                           we’re reminded that the world often offers us          distractions that promise more than they can deliver. This season is a chance to pause, reflect, and see things more clearly.
