Gaudete Sunday

12/16/2018

0 Comments

 
Hello Friends,

​This third Sunday of Advent is traditionally called "Gaudete Sunday" from the Latin for "Sunday to rejoice". It marks the midpoint of Advent when the vestments become a little lighter and the rose candle on the Advent wreath is lit. The liturgy continues to communicate that theme of joy with rose colored vestments and readings telling us to rejoice.

Last weekend we had the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, and then the celebration of Our Lady of Guadalupe. All of these celebration are for us to rejoice in the Lord and in his mother, our mother. Let's continue to prepare ourselves for the coming of our Savior into our lives. John the Baptist has been inviting us to prepare the way for the Lord.

Queirdos Amigos,

Espero que este tiempo de Adviento nos estemos preparando para el verdadero sentido de la Navidad: el Nacimiento de el Rey del Universo, Jesucristo, nuestro Salvador. Este es el tiempo de las posadas y de muchas otras celebraciones. Ojala y todas estas ocaciones nos estenayudando a acrecentar nuestra fe en Dios. Gracias a todos ustedes que participaron de la celebracion de Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe. Como es parte de nuestra tradicion, nos rejocijamos en honrar a la madre de Jesus que Tambien es nuestra madre bajo la advocacion de la Virgen de Guadalupe. Ella Tambien es un signo de gozo para nuestro pueblo Hispano y para toda la humanidad. Por eso es considerada la Emperatriz de America

​Fr. Alex
