Pope Benedict's Message for Lent 2012


MESSAGE OF HIS HOLINESS
BENEDICT XVI
FOR LENT 2012


“Let us be concerned for each other,
to stir a response in love and good works” (Heb 10:24)


Dear Brothers and Sisters,

The Lenten season offers us once again an opportunity to reflect upon the very heart of Christian life: charity. This is a favourable time to renew our journey of faith, both as individuals and as a community, with the help of the word of God and the sacraments. This journey is one marked by prayer and sharing, silence and fasting, in anticipation of the joy of Easter.
