Spiritual Sunday ~ Rose Sunday

It is Spiritual Sunday and time to share good stories and prayer requests with caring friends. I want to thank Charlotte and Ginger for hosting the gathering. I have attended Spiritual Sundays so many times with heavy burdens on my heart. I know that God is the solution and that he hears my prayers, but I also know that God has sent me to Spiritual Sundays for continued prayer and support. I hope that in some way I have helped someone else the way I was helped. Please know that I am sending up prayers for all of those in need. Believe in the power of hope, prayer, and faith.

The 4th Sunday of Lent is known as "Laetare" Sunday which means "Rejoice". Laetare Sunday is also known as Rose Sunday or Refreshment Sunday. It is when the Catholic Church uses rose colored vestments as a show of encouragement as we progress toward the end of the penitential season. In honor of Lent Season, I have chose several items that we can use in our daily life to remind us of Rose Sunday.
