Unless you are tight with the Thursday afternoon St. John’s Rosary Altar Society, as I am – you may not know this;) today is the third Sunday of Advent. It is known as Gaudete Sunday.
One of the candles in the Advent wreath is rose colored for Gaudete Sunday.
Gaudete is Latin for Rejoice, as in Gaudete in Domino semper (rejoice in the Lord always,) because the birth of Jesus is coming.
