Gaudete Sunday

The antiphon that gives the name to Gaudete Sunday
Gaudete means joy
I wrote this yesterday and failed to publish it.

When I was a student for a time at Valparaiso University, a Lutheran school, Gaudete Sunday was the signal for holiday break as our term finals were in January.  The concert in Memorial Chapel took place on that Saturday night before and our final service with all students was on the next morning...we
An Advent Wreath
with the customary single
candle in rose for Gaudete Sunday
took to the cars at noon let me tell you.

Gaudete Sunday is the third one in the Advent season. It had the best music too.

There is more but I left it out for chores yesterday so didn't write it.  A remembrance can be found here.

Have a good week...just not one good day.
