Mass Intentions and Daily Readings

ADVENT FACTS:

Traditionally, Advent wreaths are constructed of a circle of evergreen

branches into which four candles are inserted, representing the four weeks

of Advent. Ideally, three candles are purple and one is rose, but white

candles can also be used.

The purple candles in particular symbolize the prayer, penance, and pre-

paratory sacrifices and goods works undertaken at this time. The rose

candle is lit on the third Sunday, Gaudete Sunday, when the priest also

wears rose vestments at Mass; Gaudete Sunday is the Sunday of rejoicing,

because the faithful have arrived at the midpoint of Advent, when their

preparation is now half over and they are close to Christmas.

The progressive lighting of the candles symbolizes the expectation and

hope surrounding our Lord’s first coming into the world and the anticipa-

tion of his second coming to judge the living and the dead.

Tradicionalmente, las coronas de Adviento se construyen de un círculo de

ramas de hoja perenne en la que se insertan cuatro velas, que repre-

sentan las cuatro semanas de Adviento. Idealmente, tres velas son de

color púrpura y una es rosa, pero las velas blancas también pueden ser

utilizados.

Las velas de color púrpura en particular, simbolizan las de oración, peni-

tencia y sacrificios preparatorios y obras de mercancías realizadas en

este momento. La vela rosa se enciende en el tercer domingo de Gaudete

domingo, cuando el sacerdote también lleva vestimentas de rosa en la

Misa; Gaudete domingo es el Domingo de regocijo, porque los fieles han

llegado al punto medio de Adviento, cuando su preparación ya está medio

terminado y que están cerca de la Navidad.

La iluminación progresiva de las velas simboliza la esperanza y la es-

peranza que rodea la primera venida de nuestro Señor en el mundo y la

anticipación de su segunda venida a juzgar a los vivos ya los muertos.

GOSPEL MEDITATION

Jesus wants to be King and Lord of our lives. He freed us from sin

and death. Yet, Christ invites us to turn away from worldly things to

participate fully in his Kingdom. We are reminded that He is victo-

rious. Do I live as a faithful member of the Kingdom?

Jesús quiere ser Rey y Señor de nuestras vidas. Él nos liberó del

pecado y la muerte. Aún así, Cristo nos invita a apartarnos de cosas

mundanas para participar completamente en su Reino. Nos recuerda

que Él es victorioso ¿Vivo como un miembro fiel del Reino?
