Morning Prayer - SUNDAY, 19 March 2023

LISTEN | Morning Prayer - March 19, 2023 | Fourth Sunday of Lent (Laetare Sunday)

"I am the light of the world." - John 9:5

Today is the halfway mark of the Sundays of Lent. This Sunday is known as Laetare Sunday for the first word of the Introit or Entrance Antiphon laetare (rejoice); it is a Sunday of joy.

The Church’s liturgy, on this Fourth Sunday of Lent, invites us to retrace one of the fundamental dynamics of our baptismal re-birth through the Gospel account of the healing of the ‘man born blind’. It is the passage from the darkness of sin and error to the Light of God, who is the Risen Christ.

The Solemnity of St. Joseph is usually celebrated on March 19, but has been transferred to March 20 since the liturgy of the Lenten Sundays take precedence. (CatholicCulture.org)
