Through both the 1862 and 1863 invasions of the North, General Lee led his Confederate troops into Northern territory for numerous reasons. Perhaps most importantly, he intended to win such a decisive victory that the North would sue for peace or that the South might win formal recognition (and even material support) from European nations. And yet, the invasion was also motivated by the desire to take the battle into Northern lands, thereby helping Virginia landowners to recuperate from earlier conflicts in the war and perhaps even relieving pressure on the Confederate forces in the Western Theater, who had suffered a number of defeats at the hands of the Union forces active there.
First time round (Sept. 1862), he was wanting to assert Confederate viability in the eyes of the British and French, who were close to sending military aid.
Second time round (June 1863), he was wanting to relieve pressure on Vicksburg by provoking Grant into sending troops East to counter the threat of an invasion of Pennsylvania. By this time, the South was feeling its lack of supplies, and Lee was hoping to do some foraging, as well as occupying a shoe-factory near Gettysburg for the benefit of his barefoot and hungry troops.

Why was Gen Lee invading Pennsylvania?
Lee was hoping to take pressure off of the siege of Vicksburg, hoping the North would recall troops from the West to counter his threat. He also hoped that by putting pressure on the North, he could show that the South was still robust and not ready to collapse, as some in the North hoped. He wanted to force Washington to sue for peace under military threat, and he wanted to take some of the strain off of Virginia, which had borne the brunt of the fighting in the Eastern Theater of Operations since 1861. By capturing provisions, he also hoped to supplement his meager material resources.

Two things Lee hoped to accomplish by invading the North?
Lee had a number of reasons to invade the North. He marched the Army of Northern Virginia north with vigor after his remarkable victory over his outnumbered troops at Chancellorsville. Lee moved north to take pressure off the besieged town of Vicksburg. The other goal was to capture the capitol of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg. If successful his hope was to damage the morale of the North and aid the Confederacy's efforts to have European powers recognize the independence of the Confederacy. Gettysburg was not a planned battle and it was by chance along with the unexpected resignation of Union General Hooker from leading the Army of the Potomac.
