After the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus the Christ-like a pure white dove when he was baptized, he went into the wilderness to fast and pray. During this time when many of us fast to honor the 40 days that Jesus prepared himself in the wilderness, it would be great if we focused our consciousness on uplifting our thoughts from carnal mindedness as the major purpose of the fast. In this session, we discuss the dove as a representation of purity, and the withdrawal into the wilderness as a metaphor for separating our thoughts from carnality.
