Gaudete Sunday derives
its name from the opening
prayer of the Mass for this day, Christmas Mass Schedule
where we pray, "Gaudete in
Domino semper" (Rejoice in Christmas Eve
the Lord always). So in the (Sunday 12/24)
midst of Advent fasting and 4 pm & 10 pm
devotions, we rejoice because
the time we have been pre- Christmas Day
paring for is almost at hand. (Monday, 12/25)
You may see rose-colored vest- 10 am
ments and additions to the church environment
due to this special Sunday. There will be no mass on Saturday,
December 23rd.
A day like this is always good to remind us not to
take ourselves too seriously. The life of a Christian
is not always easy, but it is one of joy. If we keep
our heads bowed too long, no one will be able
to see the smiles on our faces.
