 The Breaks in Lent and Missionary Discipleship 
There are three large “breaks” in Lent: St. Joseph’s Day (March 19), The Annunciation of the Lord (March 25), and the Fourth Sunday in Lent (March 31). Each day signifies the fact that despite the penance of Lent we still have great hope in the redemption of human beings by Christ through making them missionary disciples. The first holiday, which has already passed for us signified that all are to follow the example of the Fatherhood of St. Joseph, who left everything for Jesus and St. Mary. The second holiday, which is coming up this Monday, The Annunciation of the Lord, which is traditionally called “Lady Day”, remembers the great “yes” St. Mary gives to the Angel who announces that she will bear Jesus Christ. In the same way we are called to follow the Lord, by saying “yes” to go onto to mission and tell all about our joy as Catholics. The last “break” from Lent is the Fourth Sunday of Lent, or traditionally “Rejoice” Sunday. The name for the Sunday comes from the traditional entrance hymn, which reminds us that God is in control and he will one day return and bring the new Jerusalem: “Rejoice, O Jerusalem”. The traditional colour of “Rejoice” Sunday signifies this day by mixing the white of Easter into the purple of Lent, making the colour look pink (which is actually called “Rose”). This reminds us that despite our missionary duties of Lent and forthcoming despair of Good Friday, that God is truly the only one in control and that Easter will come.
