Lent And Easter With John Paul II

"Each year, the Lenten season is set before us as a good opportunity for the intensification of prayer and penance, opening hearts to the docile welcoming of the divine will. During Lent, a spiritual journey is outlined for us that prepares us to relive the great mystery of the death and resurrection of Christ. This is done primarily by listening to the word of God more devoutly and by practicng mortification more generously, thanks to which it is possible to render greater assistance to those in need."
