Tercer Domingo de Adviento El tercer domingo de Adviento tiene un nombre especiacutefico Domingo de Gaudete Recibe ese nombre por la primera palabra en latiacuten de la antiacutefona de entrada que dice Gaudeacutete in Domino semper iacuteterum dico gaudeacutete (Estad siempre alegres en el Sentildeor os lo repito estad alegres) La antiacutefona estaacute tomada de la carta paulina a los filipenses ( Flp 4 4-5) que sigue diciendo Dominus prope este (el Sentildeor estaacute cerca) Y efectivamente en este tercer domingo que marca la mitad del Adviento la llegada del Sentildeor se ve cercana Cuando nos acercamos a la celebracioacuten del Nacimiento de Jesuacutes la palabra de Dios nos recuerda coacutemo las profeciacuteas han sido ya cumplidas que estamos en lo que los teoacutelogos llaman el ya pero todaviacutea no

El Domingo de Gaudete por lo tanto hace un alto como el Domingo del Laetare (IV de Cuaresma) a medio camino a traveacutes de un tiempo que de otra manera es de caraacutecter penitencial y significa la cercaniacutea de la venida del Sentildeor De las estaciones que se mantienen en Roma para representar los cuatro domingos de Adviento la correspondiente a la basiacutelica Vaticana se le asigna al Gaudete ya que es el maacutes importante de los cuatro domingos

Por ese motivo en este domingo los signos penitenciales que moderadamente se dan en Adviento hoy se eliminan Se deben poner maacutes flores sonar la muacutesica y como maacutes caracteriacutestico se pueden usar vestiduras de color rosado Loacutegicamente si el templo o parroquia no dispone de ese color se usa el propio del tiempo o sea el morado

El Domingo de Gaudete estaacute marcado por un Nuevo Invitatorio la Iglesia no invita ya a los fieles meramente a adorar al Sentildeor que va a venir sino que les llama a una liturgia de alegriacutea porque el Sentildeor estaacute ahora aquiacute y al alcance de la mano La alegriacutea de la espera se enfatiza por las constantes Aleluyas tanto en el Oficio como en la Misa a traveacutes de todo el Adviento La Epiacutestola tomada de la primera carta del apoacutestol san Pablo a los Tesalonicenses (5 16-24) nos incita a regocijarnos ldquoHermanos Vivan siempre alegresrdquo y nos urge a prepararnos para encontrarnos con el Salvador a traveacutes de

oraciones y suacuteplicas y de acciones de gracia mientras que el Evangelio de Juan (1 6-8 19-28) nos habla del Bautista y nos advierte que el Cordero de Dios estaacute ahora entre nosotros aunque parezca que no le conocemos ldquoHubo un hombre enviado por Dios que se llamaba Juanrdquo

El espiacuteritu del Oficio y de la Liturgia a traveacutes de todo el Adviento es de espera y de preparacioacuten para la fiesta de Navidad asiacute como para la segunda venida de Cristo y los ejercicios penitenciales que han sido adecuados para ese espiacuteritu son suspendidos en el Domingo de Gaudete para simbolizar la alegriacutea y el regocijo por la Redencioacuten Prometida las cuales nunca deben estar ausentes del corazoacuten del fiel
