Pope explains Lent plainly

"To fulfill our life in freedom it is necessary to surmount the test that freedom itself implies,
that is,
temptation,"

"Only if liberated from falsehood and sin,
can the human person,
thanks to the obedience of faith that opens him to truth,
find the full meaning of his existence and have
peace,
love and
joy,"
