On Laetare Sunday, the Church pauses in the midst of Lent to rejoice. In this reflection, Fr. Irenæus, O.P., explains the significance of this special Sunday, the meaning of the Entrance Antiphon Laetare, Jerusalem (“Rejoice, O Jerusalem”), and the use of rose-colored vestments. He invites us to see how our prayer, fasting, and almsgiving lead us toward the joy of Christ’s salvation. This reflection is part of the Behold the Lamb series, guiding you to deeper insight and faith.
