As the season of lent nears Pope Benedict has given us a lenten message to consider, calling us to reflect on our faith and our life in light of the Gospel, and on the Justice due to man and which is so often missing in our lives.
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. So we understand how faith is altogether different from a natural, good-feeling, obvious fact: humility is required to accept that I need Another to free me from “what is mine,” to give me gratuitously “what is His.” This happens especially in the sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist.
