| Title: | John the Baptist in the Wilderness |
|---|
| Notes: | The artist, Geertgen, captures John the Baptist before, perhaps just before, the Word of God reveals itself to him. We are reminded that even those specially chosen often must wait, preparing themselves with the discipline of patience. And yet, as the Lamb of God's presence suggests, we are never alone in our preparation. |
