Fourth Sunday in Lent, 27 Mar 2022, LoLLC

The weightiness of Lent is lightened a bit on Laetare Sunday, named from the historic introit meaning “rejoice.” These weeks of penitent contemplation can leave one with a nearly unredeemable portrait of humanity. These lessons offer reason for rejoicing in contemplating God’s good world of which we are a part and God’s love manifest in creation and ultimately through Jesus.
