CDM Parish Bulletin_Vol61[1] (yayyyyyy)
Gaudete – or “rejoice” – Sunday is the Third Sunday of Advent and with a rose candle lit it is a day to rejoice as we reflect on the wonder and the anticipated coming of Christ in the Nativity and His coming again. One could hardly start to imagine the world without Him. So, like Lent, Advent is a penitential season which means the priests normally has on purple; however on Gaudete Sunday (which is pass the midpoint of Advent), the Church will lift the mood with the priests wearing rose/pink vestments. The change in colour provides us with encouragement to continue our spiritual preparation—especially prayer and fasting—for Christmas.
