The greatest lesson that my parents taught us children was the centrality of Holy Mass on Sundays and on holy days of obligation.

On December 14th, Fr. Edward Nemeth and Cardinal Burke offered a very special Rorate Caeli Solemn Mass. This mass is an ancient Marian tradition during the season of Advent. The Mass is named for the Entrance Antiphon, or “Introit,” which begins “Rorate, caeli desuper” or “Drop down, O heavens, and let the clouds rain down the Just One.” This passage from Isaiah 45:8 is used in the liturgies of the Saturdays of Advent and the Fourth Sunday of Advent in the Ancient Use of the Mass. Rorate Masses begin at 6:00 am before the sunrise. This symbolic language shapes the distinctive ceremony of the Rorate Caeli Mass, held just before dawn with no light except from candles on the altar. Light is a way for us to understand that without Christ the soul is in darkness and is not able to find fulfillment. The Rorate Mass takes this interplay, or even better the drama, of light and dark and sets it liturgically for us. The timing of the Mass aims to coordinate the elevation of the Host with the moment of sunrise. The light from sunrise comes into the dark church as the rising of the Son of God in the hands of the priest is taking place. The dawning of a new day’s light at the apex of the Mass beautifully symbolizes the coming of Christ, the Light of the world, at His Nativity. Because during the Annunciation, Mary “believed what was spoken to her by the Lord would be fulfilled” (Luke 1:45), we too take great hope in being fulfilled by Christ the true light, Who is born of the Virgin Mary, our mother.
