REASON TO REJOICE Dark violet is used throughout Advent to express its character as a season of spiritual preparation for Christmas and the coming of the Lord. But on the Third Sunday of Advent, formerly known as Gaudete (Latin for rejoice ) Sunday, rose may be added to the liturgical environment. The entire liturgy is infused with a spirit of rejoicing. Today s first reading and Gospel proclaim the reality of God s saving work in our midst. Isaiah exuberantly describes the idyllic transformation of all creation as a result of God s presence in the midst of the people. In the Gospel, Jesus connects Isaiah s prophecy with what is happening in his own ministry. In addition to the list of healings from Isaiah (the blind, the lame, lepers, and the deaf), Jesus presence brings two other reasons for rejoicing: The dead are raised, and the poor have the good news proclaimed to them (Matthew 11:5).
