Reflection of the Week
Today, the Third Sunday in Advent, is also called Gaudete Sunday. That name is taken from the
Latin word Gaudete which is the first word of the introit of today’s Mass. Gaudete means “Rejoice.”
The first line of the introit in its entirety is Gaudete in Domino semper, meaning “Rejoice in the Lord
always.”
Joy and rejoicing are part of all of our readings on this day. As Christmas draws near, the Church
emphasizes the joy which should be in our hearts over all that the birth of Jesus Christ means for us. Like Lent,
Advent is a penitential season for us as Catholics. However, having passed the midpoint of Advent, we see some
changes to encourage us in our spiritual preparation.
Yes, this should have been a time when we have been spiritually preparing for the coming of Christ. It is not too
late; it is never too late in the eyes of the Lord for us to make a determined effort to change, to repent, and to find
ways to properly serve the Lord as disciples. On this day of Joy let us renew our efforts to be good stewards of all of
our gifts. Stewardship, of course, is founded in trust. On Gaudete Sunday in 2013 Pope Francis said, “Those who
trust in God experience the peacefulness in their hearts and nothing and no one can take that away. Our joy is
Christ.”

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
This week, our celebration of Advent makes a
transition in ritual and texts. Beginning December 18, the
countdown of nine days (a novena) to Christmas sees a
heightened sense of expectation, and also a turning from
the call of the Baptist in the wilderness to the events
leading up to Jesus’ birth. In ancient Spain, December 18
was once celebrated as the “Feast of the Expectancy,” and
customs grew up to heighten readiness in the homes.
Some customs arise from monastic life and practice
and spill over into our parish life. Beginning tonight,
those who pray Vespers will sing in the opening phrase a
beautiful title of Christ. These titles belong to a collection
of opening phrases called the “O Antiphons” after the awe
-inspired “O” sung on the first note. There’s a playful
code in the titles: O Wisdom, O Lord, O Flower of Jesse,
O Key of David, O Dawn, O Ruler, O Emmanuel. When
you take their Latin names—Sapientia, Adonai, Radix,
and so on—the titles form an acrostic when you read them
backwards: “ERO CRAS.” In Latin, that is translated as
“I will be there tomorrow!” It’s as if Christ were
answering the prayers of the waiting people in the words
of the prayers themselves.
—Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Los cristianos latinos tenemos unos cinco siglos en
nuestra trayectoria de fe y como todo cristiano
aguardamos la segunda venida del Mesías, Jesús. Nuestra
espera forma parte de dos milenios de cristianos que
buscan verlo llegar en las nubes.
Desde el siglo VII la oración oficial de la Iglesia
clama el retorno de Cristo con las exclamaciones llamadas
las “Antífonas Oh”. Estas llaman a Jesús pidiéndole que
venga bajo los títulos de Emmanuel, Sabiduría celestial,
Señor de gran poder, Vara de Isaí, Llave de David, Alba
de la luz, y Deseo y Rey de gentes, y algunos más. Estos
refranes se usan aún todavía hoy durante los días 17 al 23
de diciembre, y unidas en un acróstico latino forman las
palabras ero cras (estaré mañana), como respuesta a la
petición cristiana. Eventualmente en el siglo X o XI estas
antífonas fueron unidas en el canto gregoriano Veni, veni
Emmanuel (Oh ven, oh ven Emmanuel).
Este Adviento mientras cantamos las antiguas
antífonas hay que preguntarnos si de veras estamos listos
para el regreso del Hijo del Hombre que viene para juzgar
a vivos y muertos.
