Rejoice! Today we celebrate Gaudete Sunday. Gaudete is Latin for “Rejoice.” The reason to rejoice is because we are more than half way through Advent and Christmas is closer now than when we first started.
Today, St. Paul reminds us in the second reading at Mass to “Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.” We are to rejoice always because Jesus Christ offers salvation to us all through His Passion, Death, and Resurrection, which would not be possible if He did not first become man and be born of the Virgin Mary.
Did you notice the "Advent" trees?
