Lenten Practice: Approaching Laetare Sunday

How is my life shaped by saying, "Jesus is Christ"?

Rose-colored vestments coming up this Sunday and the opening antiphon: "Rejoice, Jerusalem!"

Love the joy. Believe the joy. Embrace the promises. Still, Lent always becomes more complicated for me at this point. It will become more so during Holy Week.

I don't give a blooming-or-not fig tree about earthbound debates among clerics. I believe "the Old Covenant has never been revoked" (CCC 121) and much weeping remains in ─ and for ─ Jerusalem.
