Happy Third Sunday of Advent! Also known as Gaudete Sunday!
In this season of Advent, we mentally and spiritually prepare ourselves to welcome the birth of Christ.
To interrupt the somber, penitential tone of Advent with joy, reminding the faithful that the promised Savior is drawing near, breaking the “winter” of spiritual preparation is Gaudete Sunday! “Gaudete” is Latin for rejoice so let us truly rejoice that the wait is almost over. #archdioceseofmobile #GaudeteSunday
