The Catholic faithful observes the Fourth Sunday of Lent on March 19, which is traditionally commemorated as a Sunday of joy and rejoicing.
Also known as Laetare Sunday, from the first words of the Introit in holy masses, “Laetare Jerusalem!” , the Fourth Sunday of Lent highlights the nearness of the Resurrection of Christ on Easter Sunday.
“Lent is half over and Easter is near. The shift to a joyous mood is meant to encourage the faithful to persevere fervently to the end of this holy season as well as to focus on the hope and rejoicing that the Resurrection of Christ is near,” Church officials said. “One of the disciplines of Lent is alms giving, acts of charity in addition to prayer and fasting. I urge the faithful to do more charity work, to help the poor and the needy for personal cleansing this Lent,” Cardinal Tagle said during a mass held at the Pontificio Collegio Filippino in Rome, Italy.
