THE FOURTH SUNDAY OF LENT
The Fourth Sunday of Lent is also known as Laetare Sunday. The word laetare is translated from the Latin word for rejoice. Similar to Gaudete Sunday (Third Sunday of Advent), it marks the midpoint of the Lenten season. Isaiah 66:10 tells us to "Rejoice with Jersusalem and be glad because of her, all you who love her." This is also symbolized by the wearing of rose colored vestments.
The days are drawing nearer as we anticipate the great Day of Resurrection (Easter Sunday). This also presents the opportunity for receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation, which is a way of preparing ourselves for the celebration of Holy Week and Easter.
Let us embrace this opportunity to be healed as we reconcile with our loving and merciful God, who gave His life for the sake of the world's salvation. As an beloved old hymn reminds us, "I once was lost, but now am found. Was blind, but now I see.”
~ Fr. Karl
