“The Sorrow of Solitude” by Herbert Gustave Schmalz (1905) shows Jesus undergoing his temptation in the desert. The painting reflects the inner struggle and isolation of Jesus as he prepares the path for his imminent ministry.

Saint Magnus Erlendsson

1080-1115

Feast Day: April 16

Patronage: Orkney Island

Saint Magnus Erlendsson was a Scottish Viking convert known for his piety and gentleness. The rule of the Island of Orkney was divided between St. Magnus and his cousin Haakon, that ended in enmity and the death of Magnus. As Magnus was struck by an ax deathblow, he forgave his cousin. A field of wildflowers grew where he lay and a “holy light and heavenly fragrance” came over his tomb where many are healed by visiting his grave.

There is this German worship song called "dein Werk am Kreuz", it's my favorite Song ever, it goes:

"I see myself crucified with you, resurrected with you,

transported into your kingdom,

forever one with you

Your spirit lives in me now,

I have everything in you,

You are always with me,

I am yours."

And wow, I felt that.

Jesus, all I can do is sit and wait for you in total dependence. I feel you here, breathing hope and igniting faith. I will not yield to despair. Instead, as you hold me in your arms, this storm will become a foundation for us to dance upon. With every breath, I will praise you.

Amen.
