Special Prayer Request for Pope Benedict XVI: February 21, 2010
The Pope likened the Lenten season to a "long retreat," a time of spiritual combat. Referring to the Gospel readings, he observed that Jesus taught us by his example of "struggling personally with the Tempter, all the way to the Cross." We can change the world, the Pope continued, "beginning with ourselves, by changing, by God's grace, what is wrong with our lives." |
February 21, 2010. Today at his Angelus audience on the first Sunday in Lent, Pope Benedict asked the crowd in St. Peter's Square to pray for the success of the annual retreat at the Vatican. During the week-long retreat, the Pope and the Roman Curia will engage in spiritual exercises.
