Advent Reflection Week Three

Advent Reflection Week Three

Author: Matthew Maloney December 16, 2018 Duration: 2:02

This 3rd week of advent begins with Gaudete Sunday. Gaudete means Rejoice! We take it from the Traditional Introit heard at Mass: Gaudete in Domino semper: iterum dico, gaudete ...that translates as Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, Rejoice! This is the week of the different color advent candle and vestments. While you may be thinking it's pink, the actual color is rose to symbolize rejoicing in the closeness of Christmas. This week we're going to look at the Genealogy of Jesus found at the beginning of Matthew's Gospel.

In a world of constant noise and shifting foundations, Know The Faith-Traditional Catholic Lessons and Prayers offers a space of quiet clarity and depth. Hosted by Matthew Maloney, this podcast serves as a thoughtful guide through the rich, enduring teachings and spiritual practices of traditional Catholicism. It’s not about headlines or debates, but about returning to the core-the doctrines, devotions, and liturgical heritage that have sustained believers for centuries. Each episode feels like a considered conversation or a lesson in the best sense, breaking down elements of theology, scripture, and history in a way that is both substantive and accessible. You’ll find explanations of foundational beliefs alongside guided prayers, creating a rhythm of learning and worship. This is for anyone seeking to understand their faith more profoundly, to find roots in a timeless tradition, or to simply incorporate more structured prayer into their daily life. The tone is reverent yet welcoming, assuming a seeking mind rather than a scholarly background. By weaving instruction with practice, this podcast provides listeners with both the knowledge and the tools to live out a deeper, more intentional spiritual life, drawing directly from the well of Catholic tradition.
