In the spirit of St. Augustine, who urged his followers to search for God together, please consider this reflection on Sunday’s Gospel: Before the beginning of his public ministry, Jesus is taken by God’s Spirit into the wilderness. Mark describes this with two unique phrases: Jesus was “with the wild beasts” and “the angels ministered to him.” In the wilderness, Jesus gets a foretaste of the threat and chaos he will encounter as he lives out God’s way in a hostile world. Here he is called to be with the ‘beasts’ of fear and brokenness that are part of every human life. But here too he finds angels – and is reminded that God’s abiding presence accompanies him every step of the way. What beasts are you confronting in your spiritual journey? How might you know God’s ministering presence, even in the wilderness?

Get involved in action that seeks to bring about peace and justice in the world, learn about Catholic Social Teaching, and social justice advocacy. Campus Ministry sponsors Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week and CRS Ambassadors Program Program as a means to educate the Villanova community on current local and global issues.

In addition, Campus Ministry works in collaboration with Villanova’s Center for Peace & Justice Education, which offers an academic interdisciplinary program on topics of world peace and social justice as well as sponsors student groups affiliated with specific issues of justice.
