Johnson City WHAT IS GAUDETE SUNDAY? This Third Sunday of Advent is
called "Gaudete Sunday" because its Introit begins with the joyful
words Gaudete in Domino semper . . . . Rejoice in the Lord always . . . . Traditionally, this is the only Sunday in
Advent on which the organ was heard during the Mass, and when flowers might
be seen on the altar. And for this one day the Church relaxes the penitential
aspect of Advent a bit with rose (instead of violet) vestments:

RORATE CAELI MASS READINGS AND
PROPER PRAYERS The Rorate
Caeli Mass is the Votive Mass of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Advent. Unless
you have a complete daily missal that includes the Common and Votive Masses
of the BVM, its propers can be hard to find (online
or otherwise). Here they are, in the English translations of the Fr. Lasance Roman Missal on which the Campion Missal is
based: Collect O God,
Who didst will that at the message of an angel Thy word should take flesh in
the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary: grant that we, Thy suppliants, who
believe her to be truly the mother of God, may be helped by her intercession
with Thee. Lesson Isaiah 7:
10-15 Gospel Luke 1:
26-38 Secret Strengthen
in our hearts, O Lord, we beseech Thee, the mysteries of the true faith, that, confessing Him Who was conceived of the
Virgin to be true God and true man, we may deserve, through the power of His
saving resurrection, to attain everlasting joy. Postcommunion Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts,
that we, to whom the incarnation of Christ, Thy Son was made known by the
message of an angel, may, by His passion and cross, be brought to the glory
of His resurrection.
Rorate Caeli Mass at Holy Ghost Church (more photos here) MISSA CANTATA AT ST. MARY CHURCH IN ATHENS 8 am, Sunday, December 22, 2019 Since his appointment this past June as Pastor of St. Mary Church
in Athens (TN), Rev. Dr. John Orr has celebrated a low Mass in the
extraordinary form each Sunday morning at 8 am. His inaugural Missa Cantata (sung high Mass) there is
planned for this coming Fourth Sunday of Advent. All are welcome to assist at
this special occasion. A monthly Missa Cantata
henceforth in Athens is envisioned. Longtime Knoxville Latin Mass Schola
mainstay Mark Galbaugh is working with St. Mary’s TLM choir in preparation
for this happy event, and some Holy Ghost MC’s and servers are training their
altar servers. The Knoxville Latin
Mass Community has provided appropriate vestments and liturgical resources as
needed for the TLM in Athens.
