Fifth Instruction on Vernacular Translation

by: His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI

Pope Benedict XVI offers us a great Lenten blessing in Journey to Easter.

This book is a rich meditation on the meaning of Lent, the significance of the birth and death of Jesus Christ, and the meaning of Jesus in the life of Christians everywhere. Memorable themes include: The mystery of Mary; the sign of Jonah; prayer as the center of the life of Jesus; the Easter mystery; Pentecost and the sending of the Spirit.

"It is not possible to share in the mission of Jesus, in the mission of the Gospel, without sharing in the desert experience, its poverty and hunger...The desert is a place of silence, of solitude. It is the absence of the daily exchanges of daily life, its noise and its superficiality. The desert is the place of the absolute, the place of freedom...It is a place of grace. In putting aside all preoccupations we encounter out Creator." - His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI
