Apparently, dictionaries span the spectrum of all subjects. Catholicism is
no exception. I picked this tome up for a dime the other week just because it
makes this endeavor all the more annoying and less academic to the unenlightened heathens of our age. I, on the other hand and despite being a non-believer, think that we'd still be in the intellectual Dark Ages sans religion.
GAUDETE SUNDAY
Third Sunday of
Advent, so named from the opening
antiphon of the
Introit Gaudete in Domino semper (Rejoice in the Lord always). On this Sunday rose
vestments are permitted in the
Eucharistic liturgy. (Etym. Latin
gaudete, rejoice.) See also
LAETERE SUNDAY.
from the
Pocket Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J.
