Gaudete | Traditional Catholic Christmas Music | Schola Cantorum Gloriae Dei

In the third verse we find the image of the "closed gate of Ezekiel," an allusion to the prophecy in the book of Ezekiel: "And He said to me, 'this gate shall remain shut; it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter by it; for the Lord, the God of Israel has entered by it; therefore it shall remain shut'" (Ezekiel 44:2).

This "closed gate" has a double meaning. It speaks both of Mary's virginal purity and of her role as the mother of God. The opening of the gate of heaven rested upon her answer to the angel. It is through Mary that Christ comes to us, and without her the gate of heaven would not be opened to us.

In this final day of Advent let us rejoice in the fiat of the Blessed Virgin, in our salvation, and in the love of God who became flesh for us.

Gaudete!
