Gaudete Sunday
Gaudete in Domino semper!
Rejoice in the Lord always!
Today, the third Sunday of Advent, is known as Gaudete Sunday.
Gaudete is the Latin word for rejoice. Today we rejoice because we have passed the halfway point of Advent and our anticipation of the Nativity fills us with joy. The time is near at hand!

Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception
Hail Mary, full of Grace!
We interrupt the penitential nature of Advent to celebrate the great feast of the Immaculate Conception. The Blessed Virgin Mary was conceived without stain of Original Sin. Thus, from the moment of conception, she was full of grace. It makes sense that she, who would be the Ark of the New Covenant, would be free from any taint of sin.
Today is a holy day of obligation. Go say hello to your Holy Mother.
