Vespers of the 3rd Sunday of Advent
with Benediction
with Benediction
Hebdomadary: Rev. Fr. Eugene Sta.Ana
Join us at St. Vincent de Paul church to celebrate Vespers of Gaudete Sunday in Gregorian chant! The 3rd Sunday of Advent is thus named after the first word in the Epistle's reading, where St. Paul recommends we should Rejoice in the Lord always. Advent is an intense liturgical season of joyful penance and preparation not only to celebrate Christmas, the birth in the flesh of the eternal Word of God, but also to look forward to His second coming at the end of times. The more festive character of Gaudete Sunday is made visible by the celebrant wearing rose vestments, instead of purple.
