Rejoice!

In the Episcopal Church, the “dusty rose” Sunday in Lent is the Fourth Sunday in Lent—traditionally called Laetare Sunday (from the opening words of the service. Many congregations mark it with rose-colored vestments and a slightly lighter, more hopeful tone within Lent.

Rejoice, O Jerusalem: and come together all you that love her: rejoice with joy, you that have been in sorrow: that you may exult and be filled from the breasts of your consolation. (Psalm) I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: we shall go into the house of the Lord. Glory be to the Father.
