REJOICE, THE LORD IS NEAR!
The Third Sunday of Advent, also known as Gaudete Sunday, is a joyful pause in the midst of our Advent journey. The liturgy calls us to rejoice as we draw closer to the celebration of Christ’s birth. The pink candle of the Advent wreath is lit, symbolizing joy and hope.
This Sunday’s readings remind us of God’s nearness and invite us to prepare our hearts with faith and anticipation. The First Reading proclaims God’s delight in His people, while the Second Reading calls us to rejoice always in the Lord. The Gospel challenges us to bear fruits of love and repentance as we ready ourselves to welcome Christ.
As we continue our Advent journey, let us reflect on the joy that comes from knowing the Lord is near. May this joy inspire us to share His love with others, bringing hope and light into their lives. We are pleased to share the materials for this Sunday’s liturgy on our blog. May these resources inspire and enrich your celebration as we await the coming of the Lord with hearts full of joy and thanksgiving.
