Gaudete Sunday & A Puzzling Dialogue

Rejoice in the Lord! Gaudete in Domino!The Entrance Antiphon gives the name to this, the 3rd Sunday of Advent. The colour rose temporarily replaces the violet of Advent, so as to anticipate the joy of Christmas.Yet, there is what seems a puzzling dialogue between Christ our Lord and St John the Baptist in the gospel reading. But with a closer and a deeper look, it is simple: God is coming to save us!The Catholic blog of Fr John Zuhlsdorf can be found at https://wdtprs.com/ If you would like to contact me to provide feedback, suggestions  or to ask questions you can do this via email:[email protected] if you would like to support me in this work, please send me an email and I will provide details for how you can make a donation. Music by TheNonVisibles from Pixabay
