Lent is thus an opportunity to "become" Christian "anew", through a constant process of inner change and progress in the knowledge and love of Christ.

Lent is the favorable spiritual season for training ourselves to seek God with greater tenacity, opening our heart to Christ. St. Augustine once said that our life is a unique exercise of the desire to draw close to God, of becoming able to let God into our being. "The entire life of the fervent Christian", he says, "is holy desire". If this is the case, we are further inspired in Lent to "tear out the roots of vanity from our desires", to teach the heart to desire, that is, to love God.

Lent is a favorable time to learn to stay with Mary and John, the beloved disciple, close to Him who on the Cross, consummated for all mankind the sacrifice of His life. With a more fervent participation let us direct our gaze, therefore, in this time of penance and prayer, at Christ crucified who, dying on Calvary, revealed fully for us the love of God.

The liturgy of Lent invites us ... to reject sin and evil, and overcome selfishness and indifference. Prayer, fasting, penance and works of charity towards our brothers and sisters thus become spiritual paths to follow in order to return to God.
