To accompany us during the Advent season, the Episcopal Pastoral Commission for Liturgy of the National Conference of Bishops of Brazil (CNBB) offers us the guide "Celebrating as a Family." Each family unit can adapt the scheme according to their needs, following the guide. The songs are suggestions and can be replaced with others, taking into consideration the Advent season we are experiencing.

“This Sunday we already experience joy, as Christmas is near. It is the Sunday called Gaudete. On several occasions the liturgy will invite us to rejoice: a joy that is a search for preparation so that we can welcome the Lord into the life of each of us and our families,” the script contextualizes.

At the Archdiocesan Sanctuary of Health and Peace, there are three times when masses are broadcast via... Padre Eustáquio ChannelSaturday at 5 PM and Sunday at 10 AM and 7 PM. In this way, we can participate, living the dignity of the priestly people that our baptism conferred upon us. We can not only participate, but celebrate the Lord's Day with our families.
