The Catholic answer is always the same: absolute fidelity to the holy teaching of the Church, faithfulness to the Holy See, frequent reception of the sacraments, the Rosary, daily spiritual reading, and gratitude that we have been given the fullness of God’s revelation: “Gaudete, iterum dico vobis, Gaudete.”

I don't know what the Latin means (I'm sure I should!), but Mrs. Von Hildebrand is wonderful. She's also tough to discredit.

A few times I've been fortunate enough to hear her on EWTN. She is clear and concise and always, IMO, spot on.

It is from the prayers of the third Sunday in Advent, Gaudete Sunday, when the Church can no longer contain her joyful longing for the coming of the Savior. We light the rose candle and rejoice that our redemption is so close at hand. Gaudete comes from the Latin Antiphon, which begins, "Gaudete in Domino semper: iterum dico, gaudete.." [Rejoice in the Lord always, again I say, rejoice...].

"“Gaudete, iterum dico vobis, Gaudete.”"

"Rejoice! Again I say, Rejoice!"

[ninenot]

"Rejoice, I say again unto you: Rejoice!!"

It is the Introit sung for the Third Sunday of Advent.

Here's the entire Introit: (Phillipians, 4, 4-6):

Rejoice in the Lord always: again I say, rejoice. Let your moderation be known to all men: for the Lord is near. Have no anxiety, but in everything, by prayer let your petitions be made known to God. (Ps.) You have blessed, O Lord, your land; You have turned away the captivity of Jacob...

The understanding is that "land" of Hebrew is equivalent to "Church" in the NT. Hebrew is concrete--thus, "land." The 'New Israel' is the Church.
