Pope Benedict XVI's Lenten Message

In his Lenten message released on February 4, 2010, Pope Benedict XVI encouraged Christians to work for just societies.

"The Christian is moved to contribute to creating just societies where all receive what is necessary to live according to the dignity proper to the human person and where justice is enlivened by love. . .

Conversion to Christ, believing in the Gospel, ultimately means this: to exit the illusion of self-sufficiency in order to discover and accept one's own need - the need of others and God, the need of his forgiveness and his friendship."
