Urddwisgoedd a bendithion Laetare
Yn ystod dau dymor dwys blwyddyn yr Eglwys, yr Adfent a’r Grawys, mae dydd Sul tua canol y tymor yn cael ei neilltuo ar gyfer rhywfaint o “adfywiad”, gyda’r litwrgi ychydig yn llai llym na’r arfer.
Mae’n draddodiadol i’r urddwisgoedd ar y Suliau hynny, trydydd yr Adfent (Gaudete) a’r bedwaredd Garawys (Laetare), fod o liw rhosyn, yn lle’r fioled ddyfnach arferol, ac mae urddwisgoedd o liw rhosyn newydd yn cael eu gwisgo gan y gweinidogion heddiw yn y Cymun Bendigaid ar Gân a’r Choral Holy Eucharist.
Ar Bedwerydd Sul y Grawys, rydym hefyd yn bendithio ac yn dosbarthu blodau fel arwydd o’r cariad cynhaliol a gawn gan deulu a ffrindiau, a bendithiwn a rhannwn deisen Rawys – melyster olaf cyn difrifwch yr wythnosau diwethaf a dyfodiad Dioddefaint Crist.
Dad nefol, edmygodd dy Fab Iesu Grist flodau’r maes a’n dysgu i’w hefelychu trwy ymddiried yn dy gariad. Bendithia’r blodau hyn. Derbyn hwy’n bersawr melys, a llanw galonnau’r rhai sy’n eu derbyn â’th gariad diderfyn. Caniatâ hyn er mwyn yr un Iesu Grist ein Gwaredwr. Amen.
Dad nefol, dy Fab lesu Grist a gymerodd dorthau haidd a physgod, gan borthi’r tyrfaoedd, cymaint ag a fynnent. Bendithia’r deisen Rawys hon, fel y byddo’n arwydd i ni o’r cariad a’r gofal a gawsom gan ein mamau daearol, trwyddynt y rhoddaist i ni fywyd; o gariad a gofal Sacramentau’r Eglwys trwy ba rai y cawn ein haileni a’n meithrin yng Nghrist; a’r cariad a’r gofal a gawn yn fythol ym Mair Mam Duw, sy’n gweddïo drosom â chariad mynwesol. Caniatâ hyn er mwyn yr un Iesu Grist ein Gwaredwr. Amen.
Llyfrau’r Grawys
Mae’r Grawys yn gyfnod i astudio a myfyrio. Mae’n amser da felly i ail-lansio gwerthiant llyfrau yn y Gadeirlan, gan ein hannog ni i gyd i godi llyfr a neilltuo peth amser i ddarllen a gweddïo. Mae pedwar llyfr gan awduron lleol a rhyngwladol, a ddewiswyd ar gyfer y cyfnod hwn, mewn stoc.

Laetare vestments and blessings
During the two solemn seasons of the Church’s year, Advent and Lent, on Sunday near the middle of the season is set aside for some “refreshment”, with the liturgy a little less austere.
It is traditional for the vestments on those Sundays, the third of Advent (Gaudete) and the fourth of Lent (Laetare), to be of a rose colour, instead of the usual deeper violet, and new rose vestments are worn by the ministers today at the Cymun Bendigaid ar Gân and the Choral Holy Eucharist.
On this, the Fourth Sunday of Lent, we also bless and distribute flowers as a sign of the sustaining love we receive from family and friends, and we bless and share simnel cake – a last taste of sweetness before the solemnity of the last few weeks of Lent and the coming of Christ’s Passion.
Heavenly Father, your Son Jesus Christ admired the flowers of the field and taught us to imitate them by trusting in your love. Bless these flowers. Accept them as a sweet fragrance, and fill the hearts of those who receive them with your love. Grant this for the sake of the same, even Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.
Heavenly Father, your Son Jesus Christ took loaves and fish, and fed the crowds, as much as they wanted. Bless this simnel cake, that it may be a sign to us of the love and care that we have received from our earthly mothers through whom you gave us life; the love and care that we receive from the Sacraments of the Church by which we are reborn and nurtured in Christ; and the love and care that is ours in Mary the Mother of God, who prays for us with a tender, endless love. Grant this for the sake of the same, even Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.
Lent books
Lent is a time for study and reflection. It’s therefore a good time to relaunch the sale of books at the Cathedral, encouraging us all to pick up a book and put aside some time to read and pray. Four books by local and international authors, chosen for this time, are in stock.
