March 30, 2025 – Fourth Sunday of Lent
(Laetare Sunday)
(Laetare Sunday)
Heavenly Father, on this Laetare Sunday, we rejoice in the hope of Easter. Even in the midst of sacrifice, You remind us that joy is found in Your love. Help us to persevere in our Lenten journey, knowing that the light of Christ is near.
We pray for Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in New Milton and all other churches. May they be places of celebration, where the weary find refreshment and the sorrowful find joy. Strengthen their mission to spread the Good News.
Lord, open our hearts to the joy that comes from knowing You. May we find peace in Your presence and strength in Your grace. Transform us by Your love and lead us closer to the victory of Easter. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
