THE FOUR WEEKS OF ADVENT
During the first two weeks of Advent we light the first two pur-ple candles. The Third Sunday of Advent is called Gaudete (Rejoice) Sunday. On this day we celebrate that our waiting for the birth of Jesus on Christmas day is almost over. Rose is a liturgical color that is used to signify joy, so we light the single pink candle on the third Sunday of Advent. Then on the fourth Sunday of Advent, the final purple candle is lit to mark the final week of prayer and penance as we wait expec-tantly for the soon-coming birth of the King of Kings.

THE FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT
Jesus said to his disciples: “As it was in the days of Noah, so it
will be at the coming of the Son of Man. In those days before
the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in
marriage, up to the day that Noah entered the ark. They did not
know until the flood came and carried them all away. So will it
be also at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be out in
the field; one will be taken, and one will be left. Two women will
be grinding at the mill; one will be taken, and one will be left.
Therefore, stay awake! For you do not know on which day your
Lord will come. Be sure of this: if the master of the house had
known the hour of night when the thief was coming, he would
have stayed awake and not let his house be broken into. So too,
you also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the
Son of Man will come.”
MT 24:37-44
PRIMER DOMINGO DE ADVIENTO
En aquel tiempo, Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: "Así como sucedió en tiempos de Noé, así también sucederá cuando venga el Hijo del hombre. Antes del diluvio, la gente comía, bebía y se casaba, hasta el día en que Noé entró en el arca. Y cuando menos lo esperaban, sobrevino el diluvio y se llevó a todos. Lo mismo sucederá cuando venga el Hijo del hom-bre. Entonces, de dos hombres que estén en el campo, uno será llevado y el otro será dejado; de dos mujeres que estén juntas moliendo trigo, una será tomada y la otra dejada. Ve-len, pues, y estén preparados, porque no saben qué día va a venir su Señor. Tengan por cierto que si un padre de familia supiera a qué hora va a venir el ladrón, estaría vigilando y no dejaría que se le metiera por un boquete en su casa. También ustedes estén preparados, porque a la hora que menos lo piensen, vendrá el Hijo del hombre". Mt 24,37-44
