"Lent
is like a long 'retreat' during which we can turn back into ourselves and listen
to the voice of God, in order to defeat the temptations of the Evil One. It is a
period of spiritual 'combat' which we must experience alongside Jesus, not with
pride and presumption, but using the arms of faith: prayer, listening to the
word of God and penance. In this way we will be able to celebrate Easter in
truth, ready to renew the promises of our Baptism". ~Pope Benedict
XVI
