The Exodus journey of the Israelites through the desert has long been a model for the Season of Lent. As our lives today journey through an increasingly hostile modern secular desert, the Exodus experience can offer valuable lessons. Encouraged by the prophet Isaiah’s promise that we might draw water joyfully from the wells of salvation (Isaiah 3:12), this Lenten day of retreat will offer the fruitful spiritual exercise of understanding both the threats of the modern secular desert, and the ways we can find wellsprings of new life and of hope.
