Take a chirpy approach to Lent. Pope Benedict XVI has begun tweeting daily for the season of repentance leading up to Easter, according to Vatican Radio.

Here’s an RT:

@Pope2YouVatican: BXVI: The Lenten season offers us once again an opportunity to reflect upon the very heart of Christian life: charity. #Lent

Benedict, the first pope to tweet, started on Twitter last June with a 140-character shout out to Jesus.
