The old Latin
reading for the day began with Gaudete, which means be
joyful. On this joyful day, we use rose-colored paraments and light
the rose candle, anticipating the joy Jesus will bring to the whole world.Copy the dove and candles on blue 8-1/2 by 11 card stock. Make the candles from formex film or construction paper, using gold for the flames. The third candle should be rose--the other candles may be white or blue. A tiny rhinestone in the eye of the dove is an enlivening touch.
