A Journey Through Lent to Easter
Benedict XVI, Pope
Homilies and speeches on Lent and Easter by Benedict XVI
Let the Pope be your companion this Lent. For Christians the 40 days of Lent are a time of profound conversion, of turning back to the love of God. This process of interior change and growth is supported by the striking signs and symbols of Lent and Easter: ashes, repentance, prayer, fasting, forgiveness, the cross, the palm of victory, betrayal, the empty tomb, and above all the celebration of the Resurrection.
Drawing on his recent addresses and homilies, this booklet brings home Pope Benedicts urgent call to conversion of heart and therefore to happiness and meaning in life.
