LAETARE JERUSALEM - INTROIT FOR THE FOURTH SUNDAY OF LENT, THE CATHEDRAL SCHOLA, SINGAPORE

The Fourth Sunday of Lent is also known as Laetare Sunday or Rose Sunday, from the first words of the Introit at Mass, "Laetare Jerusalem" — "Rejoice, O Jerusalem" from Isaiah 66:10. Traditionally, this Sunday is a day of celebration, a pause from the austerity of Lent. Laetare Ierusalem: et conventum facite omnes qui diligitis eam: gaudete cum laetitia, qui in tristitia fuistis: ut exsultetis, et satiemini ab uberibus consolationis vestrae. Laetatus sum in his quae dicta sunt mihi: in domum Domini ibimus. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto, Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculorum. Amen. English translation: Rejoice, O Jerusalem; and gather round, all you who love her; rejoice in gladness, after having been in sorrow; exult and be replenished with the consolation flowing from her motherly bosom. I rejoiced when it was said unto me: "Let us go to the house of the Lord." Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Sung by the Cathedral Schola at the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd, Singapore.
