Come join the Sacred Heart Schola Chant Choir for the Rorate Mass on Saturday, December 14th at 9:00 am. This is a candle lit service that gets its proper name from the first word of the Introit (Entrance antiphon): "Rorate caeli désuper et nubes pluant justum" ("Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain the just").The Rorate mass is held in honor of the Virgin Mary for the season of Advent.The Rorate Mass originated during the Middle Ages as one of the various popular Advent devotions to the Blessed Virgin and was entirely candlelit and remains so today. As one of the themes of Advent is the Incarnation of Jesus Christ, the emergence of these devotions to the Blessed Virgin helped to provide more occasions to dwell upon and give thanks for this mystery.
