Gaudete Sunday


December 11, 2016
Third Sunday of Advent
“Rejoice Sunday” Gaudete Sunday


Rejoice!  Taken from the entrance antiphon from Paul’s letter to the Philippians: “Rejoice in the Lord always.”  Gaudete Sunday or Rejoice Sunday marks the half way point of Advent.  This is a time for us to take serious the idea of preparation.  How are we doing?  It is never too late for us to open our hearts to the presence of the Lord in our lives.  Even John the Baptist asked, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?”  May all people of the world open their hearts as John did, to hear and see the coming of the Lord.    – Deacon Jim
