FazzNoth Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Christians around the world celebrate the fourth Sunday of Lent on March 27, 2022. Sometimes called Laetare Sunday, this special day in the Lenten season celebrates feelings of joy amid the more somber moments of Lent. (Laetare is a Latin word that means "to rejoice.") Jesse Bradley, pastor of Grace Community Church in Seattle, Washington, told Fox News Digital that although feelings of hopelessness loom for many in modern society — something he termed a "devastating tragedy" — believers worldwide can still have hope and even truly rejoice. WHAT IS LENT AND WHY DO WE OBSERVE IT? A recent American Psychological Association report revealed "unprecedented levels" of stress among Americans due to a variety of issues that include the war in Ukraine, the COVID pandemic and the challenging economy. THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT: WE ‘SHARE IN THE SUFFERING’ OF UKRAINIANS THROUGH FASTING PRAYER Yet there is still very good reason to have hope, said Bradley. "People around the world are still drawing near to God," Pastor Bradley said in an emailed message. https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/fourth-sunday-lent-tragedy-rejoice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
