Cardinal Walter Kasper offers here thought-provoking reflections on Lent and Easter, inviting us to ask, “Why and for what am I here? What is the meaning of my life? What is my vocation as a Christian?”

Kasper emphasizes that “When we think about our life in this way, each of us has a reason to repent and to direct his and her life anew towards Christ and towards Easter. With this new orientation, contemplating the passion of Christ becomes a path of Easter, a path of transition, of transformation and of grace, a path of hope. On this path, we find life” (from the introduction).
