Lent doesn’t always go exactly how we planned.

Maybe you began the season with beautiful intentions—more prayer, meaningful fasting, and a desire to grow closer to the Lord. But somewhere along the way, life got busy, you lost momentum, or you feel like you’ve fallen short.

This week on the Living LIT Podcast, we arrive at Laetare Sunday, the midpoint of Lent. The Church, like a loving mother, gives us this special Sunday as a holy pause—a moment to rejoice, breathe, and remember that Easter joy is already drawing near.

And for anyone feeling discouraged or behind in their Lenten journey, we turn to a powerful phrase:

Nunc Coepi — “Now I begin.”

Because the truth is, Lent isn’t about perfection.

It’s about returning to the Lord again and again.

There is still time for grace.

Still time for growth.

Still time to prepare our hearts for Easter.

So wherever you are in your Lenten journey, consider this episode a loving invitation to pause, pray, and begin again.

Nunc Coepi.
