Today the Church Comes to Middle of Lent ;Calls Today (March 19) Laetare or "Rejoice" Sunday

 In the darkness of the purgative way, God reorients the soul, according to the Crux website. 


Our feelings, which usually want to follow our passions, are spiritualized and channeled to a deeper  love of God and neighbor. 


Today (March 19, 2023) the Catholic Church comes to the middle of Lent. She marks the occasion by calling for a small pre-Easter celebration of joy. Today is called Laetare Sunday in Latin, with laetare meaning "rejoice." So today is "Rejoice Sunday."
