"The Lord Jesus is at hand at every moment of our life. He is at hand if we consider him in the perspective of Christmas, but he is also at hand if we look at him on the banks of the Jordan when he officially receives his messianic mission from the Father; lastly, he is at hand in the perspective of his return at the end of time. Christ is at hand! He comes by virtue of the Holy Spirit to announce the Good News; he comes to cure and to set free to proclaim a time of grace and salvation, in order to begin, already on the night of Bethlehem, the work of the world's redemption. Let us therefore rejoice and exult! The Lord is at hand; he is coming to save us."
--Pope John Paul II, Holy Father's homily for the Third Sunday of Advent, Roman parish of Our Lady of Valme, 15 December 1996

I was actually able to read the whole sentence and translate it correctly. So, the Latin lessons are paying off.

The original is in Greek. But it's much more haughty to speak in Latin.

The original passage in Phillipians is in Greek, of course, but what I'm quoting here is the introit for the mass today, the first word of which gives this Sunday, the third Sunday in advent, its name:  Gaudete Sunday.  (The mass is Roman Catholic, but the term, "Gaudete Sunday," is used by a number of Protestant denominations as well.)

So glad (indeed, you could say that I "rejoice") that you posted this today, and for those of us blessed with an Extraordinary Form Latin Mass in our hometowns, I was very pleased to see my priest wearing his new Rose colored vestments today.

A sweet old lady walked up to our priest after mass today.  "Father," she said, "you look smashing in salmon."

For those of us who don't know Latin, is "gaudete" the root of our word gaudy (as in Dorothy Sayers' mystery novel Gaudy Night)?
