Lætare Sunday is The Fourth Sunday of Lent, in The Western Christian Liturgical Calendar. Traditionally, this Sunday has been a day of Celebration, within the austere period of Lent. This Sunday gets its name from the first few words (Incipit) of the Traditional Latin entrance (Introit) for The Mass of The Day. “Lætare Jerusalem” (“Rejoice, O Jerusalem”) is Latin from Isaiah 66:10.

This Sunday is also known as Mothering Sunday, Refreshment Sunday, Mid-Lent Sunday (in French “Mi-Carême”), and Rose Sunday (either because the Golden Rose (sent by Popes to Catholic female Sovereigns) used to be Blessed at this time, or because the use of Rose-Coloured (rather than Violet) Vestments was permitted on this day).

The Station Church at Rome for this day was Santa Croce-in-Gerusalemme, one of the seven main Basilicas; The Golden Rose, sent by Popes to Catholic female Sovereigns, used to be Blessed at this time and for this reason the day was sometimes called “Dominica de Rosa”.

Whilst the word “Rose” is appended to today's Vestments colour, here is a brief resumé of Saint Rose of Lima (Feast Day 30 August).

Saint Rose of Lima (20 April 1586 – 24 August 1617), was a Member of The Third Order of Saint Dominic, in Lima, Peru, who became known for her life of severe asceticism and her care of the needy of the City.

A Lay Member of The Dominican Order, she was declared a Saint by The Catholic Church, being the first person born in the Americas to be Canonised as such.

As a Saint, Rose of Lima has been designated as a Co-Patroness of The Philippines, along with Saint Pudentiana; both Saints were moved to Second-Class Patronage in September 1942 by Pope Pius XII, but Saint Rose remains the Primary Patroness of Peru and of the local people of Latin America.
