Podcasts about Gaudete Sunday

Friends of the Rosary,Today, the Fourth Sunday of Lent, is Laetare Sunday, an anticipation of the joy of Easter. Traditionally, this Sunday has been a celebration within the austere period of Lent of penance and sorrow.On the third Sunday of Advent, we had Gaudete Sunday, feeling the thrill and joy of Christmas. In Lent, we have a Sunday called Laetare (rejoice), foretasting the divine grace we will receive at Easter. The priest wears rose-colored vestments during Mass.Today's Gospel is from St. Luke 15:1-3, 11-32. This reading recounts the parable of the Prodigal Son, one of Jesus' most beautiful parables. It teaches us once more that God a kind, understanding, and all-merciful Father. The son who asks for his part of the inheritance symbolizes the person who cuts himself off from God through sin.This merciful love reaches down to every prodigal son, to every human form of the moral misery of sin.The father expresses to us, lost children, His joy that we have been 'found again' and we have 'returned to life'.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will. Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

The third Sunday in Advent; Gaudete Sunday, 12-15-2024. Mother Andrea preaching

[Luke 3:10-18, 3rd Week of Advent, Gaudete Sunday]

Gaudete Sunday 2024

A homily for Gaudete Sunday Year C 12/15/2024

Today's Topics: 1) Gaudete Sunday; "Three Comings" of the Lord 2) Zep 3:14-18a; Phil 4:4-7; Lk 3:10-18 3) The Imitation of Christ: Book 1, Chapter 15: "On Works Done Out of Charity" 4) Intergenerational Curses; Baptism of John v. Baptism of Jesus  

On this "Gaudete Sunday" -- named for the first word of the Entrance Antiphon, which is "Gaudete", "Rejoice!" and symbolized by its rose liturgical color -- our second reading today echoes this them of joy. Paul says, "Rejoice in the Lord always!" This is a command for the Christian, and because we cannot "command" the way that we feel, he is communicating to us that joy is not a feeling but an act of the will, a result of our trust and confidence that God is good and that we are loved -- in good times and in bad!

Jim and Joy read comments and take viewer calls about the third Sunday of Advent, Gaudete Sunday, and its role in encouraging the Church to rejoice during the Advent season.

A sermon for Advent 3, December 15, 2025 by Father Steve.

The command to be joyful. Bishop Mark Beckman delivers the homily at the 11 a.m. Mass at the Cathedral of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus in Knoxville, Tenn.

While he may have a very unique way of saying it in Luke's Gospel, John is telling us that joy can be found in our relationships with one another. That our ultimate joy is to be found in Jesus and that it will be through him and his saving acts in the world that we will become the best versions of ourselves. This happens because God chooses to become one of us and to walk with us building a new community with us. This is certainly good news and something to celebrate with a pink candle this Advent season and be joyful about.

Today we consider the promise of Joy in a changing world

December 14, 2024Today's Reading: Introit for Advent 3 - Psalm 146:5-8; antiphon: Philippians 4:4Daily Lectionary: Isaiah 30:15-26; Revelation 2:1-29“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.” (Philippians 4:4)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Modern Advent wreaths have four blue candles. Each Sunday in Advent, another candle is lit, reminding us that Jesus, “the true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.” (John 1:9). Traditionally, Advent wreaths had three violet candles and one rose candle. The rose, or pink-colored, candle was lit on the third Sunday in Advent. Why pink? Why that Sunday? Because of the introit for that Sunday which is known as Gaudete Sunday.The first word of the introit for this Sunday is “Rejoice” (which, in Latin, is Gaudete.) This word of gladness marks a change in tone from the rest of the season, which is a more somber time of repentance and preparation for the Lord's return in judgment. The main part of the introit is Psalm 146, but the antiphonal verse with the opening line is from Philippians 4. In that passage, St. Paul also has the end of days in mind, writing, “The Lord is at hand.” But he is not writing about this as a warning to the people but rather as a comfort. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” (Phil. 4:6)Like everyone else, Christians get anxious and worry about the future. (We shouldn't, but we do.) When anxiety comes, prayer, in which we make our requests known to God, is a welcome relief. So is recalling your blessings. Yes, even in the midst of worrying over what may be ahead, it is still possible and very beneficial to look back and recall what the Lord has done. This is what the Psalmist does in Psalm 146. He recalls that the Lord is the author of all creation, and He remains forever faithful. He remembers various ways in which God helps those in need and lifts up the humble. If you ever need help recalling how blessed you are, just read the Psalms. You will find that they are filled with praises to God for what He has done. But chief among our blessings is the forgiveness won for us by Jesus. His Gift of forgiveness sets us free from sin and the guilt and shame that comes with it. His work of salvation gives hope that whatever the future holds, the end is certain. In the end, all who are in Him will be raised and lifted up forever in His everlasting kingdom. With this end in mind, you can truly “Rejoice in the Lord always,” no matter your present circumstances. And when you do, “the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:7) In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.The Saints, who here in patience Their cross and suff'rings bore, Shall live and reign forever When sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory The Lamb they shall behold; In triumph cast before Him Their diadems of gold. (LSB 515:3)-Rev.

Readings for the 3rd Sunday in Advent - Zephaniah 3:14-18a; Philippians 4:4-7; Luke 3:10-18The Third Sunday in Advent is commonly referred to as Gaudete Sunday, a Latin word meaning "rejoice!" And each of our readings invite us to do this very thing, w/ Paul pleading for us twice in the first sentence. So why? What is it we rejoice about? As an expectant mother rejoices at the life that grows within her, so we rejoice at the nearness of our God. And if the God of the Universe is so overcome with love for you and I this day that He is willing to dance before us, perhaps we can give ourselves a bit of a break and accept the fact that maybe, just maybe, we are lovable and worth the dance.

Preaching for the Third Sunday of Advent - Gaudete Sunday - Kate Ward offers a reflection on letting God's joy find us in the stillness: "Joy comes from resting in the presence of what is real: our God, our loved ones, the beauty of God's creation. God help us to make do with less: less power, less wealth, less busy-ness and activity. On this Gaudete Sunday in Advent, lead us to the stillness where we find your joy." Kate Ward is Associate Professor of theological ethics at Marquette University, working in areas including economic ethics, virtue ethics, fundamental moral theology and Catholic social thought. She lives in Milwaukee with her family, where they are parishioners of Our Lady of Divine Providence in the Riverwest neighborhood.

Sometimes the demands of the season and just life can get in the way of feeling joy-filled. Then what?

Episode 108: Year C – 3rd Sunday of Advent In this episode, we focus on details from each of the readings for this upcoming 3rd Sunday of Advent, Year C. The first detail, which is found in the first reading, taken from Zephaniah 3:14-18, is the prophecy of the day for Israel to rejoice, the theme for Gaudete Sunday. The related topic, so I will argue, is Jesus' divinity. The second detail comes from the second reading, taken from Philippians 4:4-7, and the related apologetical topic is the intercession of the saints. One of Paul's exhortations seems to conflict with the Catholic practic…
