5 Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam For the greater glory of God... Dear Parish Family, Today, the third Sunday in Advent, is Gaudete Sunday, from the first word of the entrance antiphon at Mass: Rejoice! (Gaudete in Latin). Christmas is drawing closer so we relax a bit from the penitential violet of Advent. We light the rose-colored candle on our Advent wreath and the priests customarily wear rose-colored vestments. The rose color reminds us that our watchful waiting for the Christ Child is nearly over. Gaudete Sunday reflects our joy and gladness in the promised Redemption. The readings for today deal with rejoicing in the Lord Christian joy as well as the mission of St. John the Baptist and his connection with the coming of Christ. Pope Francis has called it the Sunday of Joy. Wednesday, December 12, is the Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the Americas. The feast recalls the apparitions of Mary at the hill of Tepayac in Mexico in 1531 to the native convert Juan Diego. Our Lady s words to Juan Diego are encouraging for all of us: Listen, put it into your heart, my youngest and dearest child, that the thing that disturbs you, the thing that afflicts you, is nothing. Do not let your countenance, your heart be disturbed... Am I not here, I, who am your Mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection? Am I not the source of your joy? Are you not in the hollow of my mantle, in the crossing of my arms? Do you need anything more? Let nothing else worry you or disturb you. Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us! Peace and blessings, Fr. Rob Saturday December 15 4pm Billy Goddard Sunday December 16 Third Sunday of Advent 8am St. Francis Xavier Parish 11am Rev. Joseph J.
