I don't usually listen to the Pope.

Tomorrow is the start of Lent. And although I'm not Catholic, I'm praying about participating in it, but not for the mere act of attempting to purify myself from my own sins [Jesus's blood is enough to do that] but so that:

“Through fasting and praying, we allow Him to come and satisfy the deepest hunger that we experience in the depths of our being: the hunger and thirst for God.”
 – Pope Benedict, Lenten message, 2009

Good one Pope Benedict! Like.
