THANK YOU!
REJOICE!
Today has traditionally been
called “Gaudete Sunday.” The Latin tag
is derived from Paul’s appeal in the sec-
ond reading to “rejoice always in the
Lord,” and the Latin Mass text based on
that reading. The irony and paradox of
this Christian joy is underlined by the
fact that Paul wrote those words in prison. But from there he
could see the progress of God’s work.
Is it obvious to us? We feel that this is not the time
for joy when there is so much suffering and moral evil. It is
interesting, then, that the first reading is from the prophet
Zephaniah, who is almost exclusively concerned with
gloomy visions of Judgment Day. Today the Church selects
the only optimistic text in Zephaniah, in which the prophet
has been touched by the spirit of joy.
This, we are assured on all sides, is “the season of
joy.” Let us recapture that feeling of joy in our lives and re-
flect it to those who are joyless.
