The Third Sunday

of Advent is called Gaudete Sunday, the day

when we light the pink candle on the Advent

wreath. Rose vestments are worn to emphasize

our joy that Christmas is near.

Gaudete means “rejoice”. This day reminds us of

of penance, as a kind of ‘break’ when we recall the

hope we have because of the coming of Our Lord

Jesus.
