* Fourth Sunday of Lent

March 30

The Fourth Sunday of Lent, also known as Laetare Sunday, offers a brief moment of joy amid the solemnity of Lent. The word “Laetare” means “rejoice,” taken from the opening antiphon, “Rejoice, O Jerusalem.” This Sunday focuses on the theme of spiritual renewal and hope, reminding Christians that despite the penitent nature of Lent, Easter joy is approaching. The Gospel often recounts the healing of the blind man (John 9:1-41), symbolizing spiritual sight and enlightenment through Christ. The liturgical color shifts to rose, representing joy, and encourages the faithful to anticipate the coming resurrection with renewed hope and faith.

(*) denotes that the Lenten Sundays are moveable observance dates. These dates are determined based on Easter Sunday, a moveable feast based on the lunar and solar cycles of the Jewish calendar.
