Friends of the Rosary,

Today, the Fourth Sunday of Lent, is Laetare Sunday, a Sunday of joy. As in Advent we had Gaudete Sunday, so in Lent we have a Laetare Sunday.

The Church’s liturgy, with the celebrant priest in Mass wearing rose-colored vestments, gives a foretaste of Easter joy, inviting us to focus on the Risen Christ.

In today’s reading, we learn how Christ Jesus takes onto Himself all our sins — which are ultimately the consequences of our blindness — allowing Himself to be abandoned by His friends, rejected by His people, crowned with thorns, stripped, and nailed to the cross.

He offered His Body to the Father for our salvation and consecrated His entire Person for every one of us.

He introduced us into His Holy Heart, inflamed with love for us, which is the same as God’s light.

The indestructible link with Christ, which is founded on His love and fidelity, is the ‘new creation’ that was given to us on the day of our Baptism.
With our eyes blinded by sin, we come again to see.

Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!

Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
