About Lent
Lent is the forty days of preparation for Easter, beginning on Ash Wednesday. The Church asks three things of it: prayer, fasting and almsgiving. The Alleluia is set aside until the Easter Vigil, and altars are left unadorned.
Why rose?
Rose is worn twice a year only — Gaudete Sunday in Advent and Laetare Sunday in Lent — as a break in the purple, a glimpse of the feast ahead.
Verse of the day
Mic 7:18
