Friends of the Rosary,

Today, the Fourth Sunday of Lent, is Laetare Sunday, an anticipation of the joy of Easter. Traditionally, this Sunday has been a celebration within the austere period of Lent of penance and sorrow.

On the third Sunday of Advent, we had Gaudete Sunday, feeling the thrill and joy of Christmas. In Lent, we have a Sunday called Laetare (rejoice), foretasting the divine grace we will receive at Easter. The priest wears rose-colored vestments during Mass.

Today’s Gospel is from St. Luke 15:1-3, 11-32. This reading recounts the parable of the Prodigal Son, one of Jesus’ most beautiful parables. It teaches us once more that God a kind, understanding, and all-merciful Father. The son who asks for his part of the inheritance symbolizes the person who cuts himself off from God through sin.

This merciful love reaches down to every prodigal son, to every human form of the moral misery of sin.

The father expresses to us, lost children, His joy that we have been ‘found again’ and we have ‘returned to life’.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!

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!
