GAUDETE – The Third Sunday of Advent


The third Sunday of Advent is called “Gaudete Sunday,” from the Latin word meaning “rejoice”:


Gaudete in Domino semper: iterum dico, gaudete. Modestia vestra nota sit omnibus hominibus: Dominus enim prope est. Nihil solliciti sitis: sed in omni oratione petitiones vestræ innotescant apud Deum. Benedixisti Domine terram tuam: avertisti captivitatem Jacob.


This may be translated as


Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice. Let your forbearance be known...
