Holy Trinity and Scenes From Scripture

“The readings from Sunday Mass speak to us of our desperate condition and how God’s abiding love has not only set us free but has lifted us higher as well. God was not content to restore us to some earthly garden, paradise though it was. No, He so loved the world that He sent His Son, who opened Heaven itself for us and has given us a new, transformed, and eternal life. …”

“… The day’s theme comes from the entrance antiphon reflecting on Isaiah 66:10-11: ‘Rejoice, Jerusalem, and all who love her. Be joyful, all who were in mourning; exalt and be satisfied at her consoling breast.’ Laetare is the first word — meaning “rejoice” — in the Latin text. On Laetare Sunday (as similarly with the Third Sunday of Advent’s Gaudete Sunday) the Church expresses hope and joy in the midst of our Lenten fasts and penances. Call it pink — or, more fittingly, rose — this change in color indicates a glimpse of the joy that awaits us at Easter, just before we enter into the somber days of Passiontide. …”

“The fourth Sunday of Lent is rather unique; like the third Sunday of Advent (‘Gaudete Sunday’), the fourth Sunday of Lent is a break in an otherwise penitential season. The vestments for this day will be rose, as they are on Gaudete Sunday in Advent, and flowers may adorn the Altar. This day is called ‘Laetare Sunday’ (also “Rose Sunday” ), and takes its name from the opening words of the Mass, the Introit’s ‘Laetare, Jerusalem’ …”

“[Jesus] made a whip out of cords
and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen,
and spilled the coins of the money changers
and overturned their tables,
and to those who sold doves He said,
‘Take these out of here,
and stop making my Father’s house a marketplace.’
His Disciples recalled the words of Scripture,
Zeal for Your House will consume Me. …”
