Podcasts about Laetare Sunday

Given at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, Cottage Grove, Oregon.

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!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

March 15th, 2026:  Laetare Sunday - A Pause During Lent;  The Lessons of the Color Rose;  Root Out Acedia;  The Scandal of Sadness

Key Takeaways Envy is sorrow at another person's good. Envy twists the desire for joy and friendship. Comparison becomes dangerous when we believe God's grace is scarce. David and Jonathan model freedom from envy through trust in God. Our weaknesses can become places where God's glory is revealed. The cure for envy is security in our identity as beloved sons and daughters of God. Description Why do the gifts, success, or blessings of other people sometimes make us sad rather than joyful? In this homily for the Fourth Sunday of Lent, Fr. Will reflects on the Gospel healing of the man born blind and connects it to the deadly sin of envy. Envy is not simply wanting what someone else has. More deeply, it is sorrow at another's good — the painful sense that someone else's blessing somehow diminishes us. This temptation often grows in the soil of insecurity, comparison, and the false belief that God's love is limited. But the Christian life reveals something different: God's grace is not a zero-sum game. The gifts of others do not threaten us, and even our own weaknesses can become places where the works of God are made visible. Drawing on the stories of David, Saul, and Jonathan, this homily shows that freedom from envy comes through confidence in God's love. When we know we are chosen, loved, and guided by the Good Shepherd, we can rejoice in the gifts of others and trust God with our own path.

#sermon #catholicThere are two times during Lent when the Church tries to give us a boost and encourage us to persevere in our Lenten practices. One time, of course, is Laetare Sunday, which occurs just after the halfway point of Lent. The other time is today, when we are a quarter of the way through Lent.The fact that the Church tries to encourage us today indicates to us that we should already be feeling a bit worn out by our Lenten resolutions. We should be needing a second wind.If we have not yet made any resolutions for Lent, we must be sure to do so today. If we are finding our resolutions easy, perhaps we should add something to them that is more difficult.For those of us who are worn out, the Church gives us encouragement in the same way that Our Lord chose to encourage the Apostles right before His crucifixion. He did it by becoming transfigured before them.The Church shows us that she really wants to reflect carefully on this episode in Our Lord's life by giving us the same Gospel two days in a row, for Ember Saturday and today. She only does this one other time, Ember Saturday in Advent and the Fourth Sunday of Advent.This transfiguration is encouraging for us because it shows the glory that will come at the end of our struggles. If we persevere in the Catholic life, if we continue carrying our Cross and being faithful, one day we will enter heavenly glory.Our garments will be as white as snow because of the radiance of our body. Our body will shine brighter than the sun.Just as when there is a contest, the contestants are shown the prize that will be awarded to the winner before they start the contest. Seeing the prize encourages those who are competing. When they are in the midst of the competition, they think about what they will earn if they win and they continue in their efforts.So, too, for us, a quarter of the way through Lent and a certain percentage of the way through our life. We might be weary of our duty of state and the daily grind. We might be weary fighting against the world, the flesh, and the devil. Then, we remind ourselves: if I persevere, I will win an eternal crown. I will be happy forever. I will receive a glorified body that will never suffer.This vision of Our Lord's glory had a huge impact on St. Peter. He mentions it as definitive proof of Our Lord's divinity in his second epistle, “We were not following fictitious tales when we made known to you the power and coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of his grandeur. For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when from out the majestic glory a voice came down to him. And this voice we ourselves heard borne from heaven when we were with him on the holy mount” (2 Pet. 1:16-18)This vision of Our Lord's glory really happened. And it is a real proof of the glory we will have.

Let's start episode SOPP729 of Secrets of Organ Playing Podcast. This question was sent by Nick and he writes:Hi there! Been following your site for a while (and even bought a few pieces). I just recently stepped up to learn organ for my church – it's a Catholic traditional Latin church, so I'm being asked to play hymns, interludes, and to accompany chant when I can. It's been a while since I've been at the keyboard – so I've started myself over in theory books (currently in book 4 of a 10 book series) and am doing my best to start to learn pedals. I've been working with a local teacher here who is a concert organist and we've been going through the New Oxford Organ Method book along with Flor Peeters' Little Organ Book. I recently saw that you all have the total organist course and I'm interested – however I also don't want to make the mistake of grabbing too many resources. I'm emailing to get some insight into the course – is there a way it would be able to help me develop my skills faster than where I'm at now? Or, would there be a course or two that you'd recommend for purchase that would help me? Thanks for a great website – I've been enjoying the content so far (and used your Laetare Sunday prelude before Mass this year – so thank you for that!) God bless,Nick

Friends of the Rosary,As a continuation of yesterday's Laetare Sunday joyful spirit, today we read in the Gospel (John 4:43-54) how Jesus cured the son of a royal official in Capernaum."Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will not believe."Tomorrow, and during the next two weeks, the Gospel's main readings will be from St. John.Day after day, we will read about the growing hostility against Jesus and their persecution that climaxed in the crucifixion of Holy Friday.Through his Passion, Death, and Resurrection, Christ reconciled us with God and one another. God's great love for us has been revealed in Jesus.He came to divinize us, to start a new creation with us, and reconcile us to God — and not just to teach a moral code, as other religions do: As St. Paul explained it yesterday (2 Corinthians 5:17-21):"Whoever is in Christ is a new creation:the old things have passed away;behold, new things have come.And all this is from God,who has reconciled us to himself through Christand given us the ministry of reconciliation,namely, God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ,not counting their trespasses against themand entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.So we are ambassadors for Christ."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.

Even in the midst of Lenten discipline, the Church invites us to pause and glimpse the joy waiting on Easter morning. Laetare Sunday—marked by rose vestments replacing the penitential purple—arrives precisely when many of us have settled into the rhythm of our Lenten commitments but might need encouragement for the journey ahead.This episode explores the profound spiritual wisdom behind this "joy Sunday" that occurs right at Lent's midpoint. Drawing from St. Thomas Aquinas, we examine how true Christian joy flows naturally from growing charity in our hearts. As we've weakened the "old man" in us through three and a half weeks of spiritual discipline, we've simultaneously strengthened our union with God—and that itself becomes a legitimate source of joy. The challenges of modern living receive particular attention as we discuss how today's "argument culture" conditions faithful Catholics toward defensiveness and contention. Social media, news cycles, and even family gatherings have become battlegrounds where we feel constantly compelled to fight for our beliefs. While defending truth remains essential, this episode offers a gentle correction: "We can't fight for everything." Instead, Laetare Sunday calls us to foster joy by focusing on the graces we've received rather than dwelling on negativities.Practical resolutions round out our discussion: making Sundays truly restful, improving our thanksgiving after Communion, avoiding unnecessary arguments, and turning away from what traditional wisdom calls "birds of ill omen"—those constant sources of bad news and apocalyptic predictions that rob us of peace. In our digitally connected age, this might mean logging off Twitter, stepping away from news consumption, and getting outside with loved ones.Ready to reclaim genuine Christian joy amid your Lenten journey?

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.

The story of Josh and Sam

Galatians 4: 22-31; John 6: 1-15; Haydock Commentary

On this Laetare Sunday, Father Jonathan Meyer reminds us of God's immense love and care for us. Reflecting on the Parable of the Prodigal Son, he shares the comforting words of the Father: “You are here with me always. Everything I have is yours.” Take a moment today to realize how deeply loved you are by God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Let this Sunday be a day of rest and a reminder that God's grace is always with you.

Today is Laetare Sunday, a time to rejoice in the middle of Lent. Why do we rejoice at this time? Father explains this and how our cause of rejoicing is connected with today’s readings about the Prodigal son.

His Gaze (Laetare Sunday 2025)

Fr. Joshy reflects on Laetare Sunday as a call to rejoice in God's mercy. He invites us to see ourselves in the parable of the Prodigal Son—whether as the wayward younger son, the resentful elder brother, or the compassionate father. True reconciliation comes through surrender, trust, and transformation. Like the father in the parable, we are called to forgive, embrace others with compassion, and become agents of God's mercy in the world.

We are excited to welcome Amaya Valcárcel, International Advocacy Officer with Jesuit Refugee Services (JRS) in Rome, who also works in the area of research and reflection in the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development at the Vatican. Amaya helps to broaden our perspective beyond the US-Mexico border to recognize the harsh reality of forced migration around the world. She echoes the words of Pope Francis calling for a culture of encounter as a remedy to the globalization of indifference that causes societies to build more policies of resistance rather than welcoming for refugees and asylum seekers.  This past Sunday, we celebrated Laetare Sunday (from the Latin for “rejoicing”) in the middle of our Lenten journey. Drawing from that theme, Brian and Joe share stories of joy that breaks through even the harshest of circumstances. Brian tells the story of Kayla, a 4-year-old girl who he baptized in Senda 2 in Reynosa. Despite the harsh conditions of the shelter and the desperation of a long wait to enter the US, Kayla's parents took advantage of their time at the shelter to have their daughter baptized, which was a moment of joy for all who joined in the celebration. Joe recalls the birthday/farewell party for Carlos, a migrant who was staying at Casa del Migrante in Reynosa. The joy reached a new level when Sor Edith, an 80-year-old Daughter of Charity, broke into dance to the delight of all. If you want to see her cut a move, there's got to be a Tik Tok video of her out there somewhere!

2024-03-10 Sermon - The Fourth Sunday in Lent / Laetare Sunday, John 6:1-15

4th Sunday of Lent, Laetare Sunday, Year B. 2024

Friends of the Rosary: The Fourth Sunday of Lent is traditionally called Laetare Sunday. Laetare is a Latin word that means "rejoice." Today's Gospel (John 3:14-21) describes the reason for our joy: God's great love for us has been revealed in Jesus. Through his Passion, Death, and Resurrection, Christ has reconciled us with God and one another. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the verdict,that the light came into the world, but people preferred darkness to light,because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the lightand does not come toward the light, so that his works might not be exposed. But whoever lives the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God." Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You! To Jesus through Mary!Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York • ⁠March 10, 2024, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET
