In Illo Tempore: Laetare Sunday, 4th in Lent

It is a fact of human nature that when our senses are incessantly struck by the same impression, we begin to dull. Noise that never ceases is no longer truly heard. Color without contrast becomes flat. Images, especially wicked images, can first disturb and then stupefy. For this reason deprivation has a place in a healthy human life, and variety has a place in the Church’s sanctifying wisdom.
