She wants to help us to become saints because that is what she knows her son, Jesus, wants. When we offer our deeds of mercy and our trust to Jesus through Mary, it is like the peasant who, wishing to gain the benevolence of the king, went to the queen and presented her with a piece of fruit, which was all he had to give to the king. The queen takes the fruit and puts it on a beautiful golden dish and presents it to the king. Then the fruit, however unworthy it is by itself, becomes worlthy based upon the dish of gold it rests upon and the person who presented it.
III Niedziela Adwentu, czyli Niedziela "Gaudete" jest jednym z dwóch dni w roku, kiedy kapłan może sprawować liturgię w szatach koloru różowego. Radosny charakter III Niedzieli Adwentu bardzo wyraźnie pokazują teksty liturgiczne. Radość płynie z zapowiadanego przyjścia Chrystusa i z odkupienia, jakie przynosi. W kolekcie czytamy: "Boże, Ty widzisz, z jaką wiarą oczekujemy świat Narodzenia Pańskiego, spraw, abyśmy przygotowali nasze serca i z radością mogli obchodzić wielką tajemnicę naszego zbawienia." Ten dzień to takie obwieszczenie przez Kościół bliskości Zbawiciela. Tradycja świętowania Niedzieli "Gaudete" wyrosła w czasach, gdy Adwent miał typowo postny charakter. Wtedy miała charakter przerwy w poście, była jedynym radosnym akcentem Adwentu. W Adwencie nie grano wówczas na organach i nie przyozdabiano prezbiterium kwiatami. Wolno było to robić jedynie w niedzielę Gaudete. Ponadto w niedzielę tę śpiewano hymn Chwała na wysokości Bogu. Teraz, gdy Adwent obchodzony jest jako czas radosnego, pełnego tęsknoty oczekiwania stanowi ona raczej kulminacyjny punkt tego okresu. Trafnie wyraża jego prawdziwą tożsamość. Oprócz tego dnia, liturgię w różowych sztach kapłani mogą sprawować jeszcze tylko w niedzielę laetare IV niedzielę Wielkiego Postu.
