Laetare Sunday

Mothering Sunday celebrations became part of the liturgical calendar as Laetare Sunday, the fourth Sunday in Lent to honour the Virgin Mary and the "mother church!

Laetare Sunday

In purple robes

She gathers up a hidden grace

No thoughts of self

Exudes her glory to those she loves

 

In silent determination

Through times of tribulation

The comfort of her presence

Soothes each aching heart

 

The golden rose

O motherhood of humanity

You alone are favoured

And blessed amongst us all

I wonder, should we not love all around us, even our enemy? Does your Church not say so?

..BTW, what is your opinion on all the scandal in Churches, mostly Catholic Church but also Lutheran at least in Germany..? I MISS YOUR COMMENT ON MY PIECE NO 1 hope all you have been good. People missed you here.
