DIVINUM OFFICIUM Chapter

Capitulum

Advent III (Gaudete) - Little Chapter (Phil. 4:4-5)

"Gaudete in Domino semper" (Rejoice in the Lord always) from Philippians 4:4-5 gives Gaudete Sunday its name. The capitulum's repetition ("iterum dico, gaudete") emphasizes joy's imperative. The Lord's nearness ("Dominus prope est") grounds this joy christologically. Modesty made known to all men connects Advent joy to virtue.
