A Voice Came From Heaven

And a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.” And the Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. He was in the wilderness for forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels waited on him. (Mark1:11-13)

The Beloved joins
the exile
from the Garden.

Seen above (and on mastheads): “Remove the Sandals from Your Feet, for the Place on which You are Standing is Holy Ground” by Veryle Lynn Cox in the current ECVA exhibition, "Recognition & Return."

Readings are from Streams of Mercy: a meditative commentary on the Bible by Ann Kristin Haldors Fontaine (used with permission of the author.)
