1. The action of the Spirit
In many aspects of His earthly life, Jesus acted as an example for us.
In many daily life examples, but even in extremes like the crucifixion, where He showed us how to be murdered as one of His followers: forgiving our murderers as they kill us.
/
And in our Gospel today, Jesus allows himself to be driven by the Spirit.
This is for our benefit.
Jesus and the Spirit and the Father are perfectly united in the Holy Trinity.
But for our benefit, Jesus gives us the example of how we should live:
Driven by the Spirit.
2. Who is the Holy Spirit?
The Holy Spirit is the Sanctifier: the Spirit makes saints.
Those seven gifts of the Holy Spirit you had to memorize in Confimation class, and the 14 fruits of the Spirit (which hopefully you didn't have to memorize (that was the part of the test I failed when I went through class)), they are just the typical ways that the Spirit makes us holy.
But that is just the tip of the iceburg. When we invite the Holy Spirit into our life, into the depths of our soul and heart, throughout our days and nights, the Spirit will drive us towards holiness.
Sometimes that will mean praying when we don't want to, or helping with extra chores around the house when we've already done our part, or giving a kind word and a smile to someone, even as we are about to break.
And sometimes, the Spirit will drive you into the desert.
3. The petition we should make to the Spirit
This Lent, ask the Spirit to drive you towards holiness.
Beg the Spirit, to make you a saint.
Pray daily, for the Spirit to move you outside your comfort zone, and into a terrifying and exhilerating life.
Ask the Spirit, to drive you into the desert.
