Flower in the Desert

​

Catholic Life Blooming in Unexpected Places

​

Itchy eyes. Cracked skin. Parched mouth. Dusty cars. Sandy floors. Dry earth. These are the things that usually come to mind when we think of the desert. 

​

The Sahara doesn't bring to mind blooming flora or bountiful harvest...and yet, I've found that the most fruitful moments in life come out of the lonelinest, driest experiences. 

​​​

My faith has shown me that God often whisks us off into the desert so we can be stripped down to nothing. The desert becomes a place of cleansing, a place of renewal, a place ​where we are adorned with treasures, with life. A flower in the desert.​
