Third Sunday of ADVENT
Gaudete Sunday
There
is a shift from adoring “The Lord Who is to
come”,
to worshipping with joy “The Lord Who is now nigh and close at hand”.
to worshipping with joy “The Lord Who is now nigh and close at hand”.
The name
GAUDETE derives from
the first
word of this
Sunday’s
Introit of
the Mass from Phil 4:4-5 ... At the heart, it is a
command...
Gaudete in Domino
semper ~ Rejoice in the Lord
always
"Draw
near to Christ, present among
us
in His Word and in the
Eucharist, and...
rejoice
in the
knowledge that He remains with us
at every moment of our
lives
and
throughout history."
Pope Benedict XVI
