Gaudete Sunday ~ December 15, 2019
LITURGY OF THE WORD First Reading ~ Isaiah 35:1-6a, 10
The desert and the parched land will exult; the steppe will rejoice and bloom. They will bloom with abundant flowers, and rejoice with joyful song. The glory of Lebanon will be given to them, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon; they will see the glory of the LORD, the splendor of our God. Strengthen the hands that are feeble, make firm the knees that are weak, say to those whose hearts are frightened: Be strong, fear not! Here is your God, he comes with vindication; with divine recompense he comes to save you. Then will the eyes of the blind be opened, the ears of the deaf be cleared; then will the lame leap like a stag, then the tongue of the mute will sing. Those whom the LORD has ransomed will return and enter Zion singing, crowned with everlasting joy; they will meet with joy and gladness, sorrow and mourning will flee. The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God

RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 146:6-7, 8-9, 9-10
R. Lord, come and save us.
The LORD God keeps faith forever, secures justice for the oppressed,
gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets captives free.
R. Lord, come and save us.
The LORD gives sight to the blind; the LORD raises up those who were bowed down.
The LORD loves the just; the LORD protects strangers.
R. Lord, come and save us.
The fatherless and the widow he sustains, but the way of the wicked he thwarts.
The LORD shall reign forever; your God, O Zion, through all generations.
R. Lord, come and save us.
SECOND READING ~ James 5:7-10
Be patient, brothers and sisters, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient with it until it re-ceives the early and the late rains. You too must be patient. Make your hearts firm, because the coming of the Lord is at hand. Do not complain, brothers and sisters, about one another, that you may not be judged. Behold, the Judge is standing before the gates. Take as an example of hardship and patience, brothers and sisters, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
Alleluia, alleluia.
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring glad tidings to the poor.
Alleluia, alleluia.
GOSPEL Matthew 11:2-11
When John the Baptist heard in prison of the works of the Christ, he sent his disciples to Jesus with this question, “Are you the one who is to come, or should
Gospel Continued we look for another?” Jesus said to them in reply, “Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the good news proclaimed to them. And blessed is the one who takes no offense at me.”
As they were going off, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John, “What did you go out to the desert to see? A reed swayed by the wind? Then what did you go out to see? Someone dressed in fine clothing? Those who wear fine clothing are in royal palaces. Then why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. This is the one about whom it is written: Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you; he will prepare your way before you. Amen, I say to you, among those born of women there has been none greater than John the Baptist; yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.” The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.
NICENE CREED
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven,
At the words that follow, up to and including “and became man,” all bow.
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

PRAYERS
PRAYER TO SAINT MICHAEL
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
MEMORARE
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help,
or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother;
to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful And kindle in them the fire of Your love
Send forth Your Spirit and they shall be created And You shall renew the face of the earth
O God, Who instructed the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, Grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise and
ever rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen

ANTÍFONA DE ENTRADA
Estén siempre alegres en el Señor, les repito, estén alegres. El Señor está cerca.
No se dice Gloria.
III Domingo de Adviento - 15 de Diciembre de 2019
Lectura del libro del profeta Isaías 35, 1-6. 10
Esto dice el Señor: “Regocíjate, yermo sediento. Que se alegre
el desierto y se cubra de flores, que florezca como un campo
de lirios, que se alegre y dé gritos de júbilo, porque le será dada
la gloria del Líbano, el esplendor del Carmelo y del Sarón.
Ellos verán la gloria del Señor, el esplendor de nuestro Dios.
Fortalezcan las manos cansadas, afiancen las rodillas vacilan-
tes. Digan a los de corazón apocado: ‘¡Ánimo! No teman. He
aquí que su Dios, vengador y justiciero, viene ya para salvar-
los’.
Se iluminarán entonces los ojos de los ciegos y los oídos de los
sordos se abrirán. Saltará como un venado el cojo y la lengua
del mudo cantará. Volverán a casa los rescatados por el Señor,
vendrán a Sión con cánticos de júbilo, coronados de perpetua
alegría; serán su escolta el gozo y la dicha, porque la pena y la
aflicción habrán terminado”.
Palabra de Dios. Todos: Te alabamos, Señor.
Primera Lectura
Salmo Responsorial
R. Ven, Señor, a salvarnos.
El Señor mantiene su fidelidad perpetuamente,
hace justicia a los oprimidos,
da pan a los hambrientos.
El Señor liberta a los cautivos.
R. Ven, Señor, a salvarnos.
El Señor abre los ojos al ciego,
el Señor endereza a los que se doblan,
el Señor ama a los justos,
el Señor guarda a los peregrinos.
R. Ven, Señor, a salvarnos.
Sustenta al huérfano y a la viuda
y trastorna el camino de los malvados.
El Señor reina eternamente;
tu Dios, Sión, de edad en edad.
R. Ven, Señor, a salvarnos.
Lectura de la carta del apóstol Santiago 5, 7-10
Hermanos: Sean pacientes hasta la venida del Señor.
Vean cómo el labrador, con la esperanza de los frutos
preciosos de la tierra, aguarda pacientemente las lluvias
tempraneras y las tardías. Aguarden también ustedes con
paciencia y mantengan firme el ánimo, porque la venida
del Señor está cerca.
No murmuren, hermanos, los unos de los otros, para que
el día del juicio no sean condenados. Miren que el juez ya
está a la puerta. Tomen como ejemplo de paciencia en el
sufrimiento a los profetas, los cuales hablaron en nombre
del Señor.
Palabra de Dios. Todos: Te alabamos, Señor.
Segunda Lectura
Evangelio
Del santo Evangelio según san Mateo 11, 2-11
En aquel tiempo, Juan se encontraba en la cárcel, y habiendo
oído hablar de las obras de Cristo, le mandó preguntar por
medio de dos discípulos: “¿Eres tú el que ha de venir o tene-
mos que esperar a otro?”
Jesús les respondió: “Vayan a contar a Juan lo que están vien-
do y oyendo: los ciegos ven, los cojos andan, los leprosos
quedan limpios de la lepra, los sordos oyen, los muertos resu-
citan y a los pobres se les anuncia el Evangelio. Dichoso aquel
que no se sienta defraudado por mí”.
Cuando se fueron los discípulos, Jesús se puso a hablar a la
gente acerca de Juan: “¿Qué fueron ustedes a ver en el
desierto? ¿Una caña sacudida por el viento? No. Pues entonc-
es, ¿qué fueron a ver? ¿A un hombre lujosamente vestido? No,
ya que los que visten con lujo habitan en los palacios. ¿A qué
fueron, pues? ¿A ver a un profeta? Sí, yo se lo aseguro; y a uno
que es todavía más que profeta. Porque de él está escrito: He
aquí que yo envío a mi mensajero para que vaya delante de ti y
te prepare el camino. Yo les aseguro que no ha surgido entre
los hijos de una mujer ninguno más grande que Juan el Bau-
tista. Sin embargo, el más pequeño en el Reino de los cielos, es
todavía más grande que él”.
Palabra del Señor. Todos: Gloria a ti, Señor Jesús.
Y finalmente… And Finally...
Aquí hay algunos pensamientos de su pastor. Pueden ser solo intereses aleatorios que me gustaría
compartir. Con suerte, también encontrará algo de interés para usted.
¿Por qué color de rosa para el tercer domingo de Adviento?
Ciertos domingos a lo largo del año litúrgico han tomado sus nom-
bres de la primera palabra en latín del Introito, la antífona de entra-
da a la misa. El domingo de Gaudete es uno de estos días.
El domingo de Gaudete es una celebración alegre. Aunque tiene
lugar durante el período generalmente penitencial de Adviento, el
domingo de Gaudete sirve como un punto intermedio de las prácti-
cas austeras para regocijarse en la cercanía del regreso de Jesús de
tres maneras.
¿Cuándo es el domingo de Gaudete? El domingo de Gaudete es
el tercer domingo de Adviento. La fecha generalmente cae entre el
11 y el 17 de diciembre de cada año.
¿De dónde viene el nombre? El Introito para el domingo de Gau-
dete, tanto en la Misa latina tradicional como en el Novus Ordo,
está tomado de Filipenses 4: 4,5: Gaudete en Domino sempre, o
“regocíjate en el Señor siempre”.
Ropa de sacerdote Al igual que la Cuaresma, el Adviento es una
temporada penitencial, por lo que el sacerdote normalmente usa
vestimentas moradas. Pero el domingo de Gaudete, después de ha-
ber pasado el punto medio del Adviento, la Iglesia aligera un poco el
estado de ánimo y el sacerdote puede usar vestimentas de rosa. El
cambio de color brinda a los fieles aliento para continuar su prepar-
ación espiritual, especialmente la oración y el ayuno, para Navidad.
Decoración Por la misma razón para aligerar el estado de ánimo, la
tercera vela de la corona de Adviento, que se enciende por primera
vez el domingo de Gaudete, es tradicionalmente de color rosa.

Here are a few thoughts from your pastor. They may be just random interests that I would like to
share. Hopefully, you will find something of interest for you also.
Why Rose Color for the Third Sunday of Advent?
Certain Sundays throughout the liturgical year have taken their
names from the first word in Latin of the Introit, the entrance anti-
phon at mass. Gaudete Sunday is one of these days.
Gaudete Sunday is a joyous celebration. Although it takes place dur-
ing the usually penitential period of Advent, Gaudete Sunday serves
as a mid-point break from the austere practices to rejoice in the
nearness of Jesus’s return in three ways.
When Is Gaudete Sunday?
Gaudete Sunday is the third Sunday of Advent. The date usually falls
between December 11 to 17 each year.
Where Does the Name Come From?
The Introit for Gaudete Sunday, in both the Traditional Latin
Mass and the Novus Ordo, is taken from Philippians 4:4,5: Gaudete
in Domino semper, or “rejoice in the Lord always.”
Priest Clothing
Like Lent, Advent is a penitential season, so the priest normally
wears purple vestments. But on Gaudete Sunday, having passed the
midpoint of Advent, the Church lightens the mood a little, and the
priest may wear rose vestments. The change in color provides wor-
shippers with encouragement to continue their spiritual preparation
— especially prayer and fasting — for Christmas.
Decor
For the same reason of lightening the mood, the third candle of
the Advent wreath, which is first lit on Gaudete Sunday, is tradition-
ally rose-colored.
