Thank you for your letter about Lent. I enclose a recent article on
the subject.
I do believe that as we seek to make a Christian response to the
unsustainable contemporary project of growth without limit, with no end
in view beyond the process itself, the reinvigoration of the Christian
Lenten practice is very desirable. I am personally altering my practice
this Lent beginning with Sexagesima Sunday, and would prefer to make any
public statements when my personal practice conforms to what I have
understood of the Church's tradition in this matter.
With all good wishes and thanks for our partnership in the Gospel.
