RORATE candlelight mass
Advent is a season of anticipation for the arrival of the Son of God, the Light of the World. The Rorate Mass is an ancient tradition that honors the Blessed Virgin Mary and is celebrated in the dark, illuminated only by candlelight. The warm rays of the winter sun gradually light up the Church, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness. Mary is the true Morning Star, always guiding us toward her Son. The Rorate Mass serves as a reminder of Mary's essential role in salvation history and that the darkness of night never lasts.
During the Mass, all hold lighted candles that practically illuminate the Church and symbolize that joining many individual lights can dispel darkness. When we let our lights shine before others and do not hide them, we can quickly illuminate the world and destroy the darkness around us. This custom reflects a beautiful ray of symbolism. The Rorate Mass is a lovely tradition in the Church that helps us enter the Advent season. Above all, it reminds us of a central truth of our faith: darkness is a temporary condition that disappears more quickly when many lights confront it. This tradition allows us to reflect on this truth and gives us hope during this time of year.
Join Our Lady of Mercy parish
for the Rorate Mass in the Chapel,
Monday-Friday, at 6:15 AM.
Please bring your candle.
