Welcome to Week 3 of Advent~Joy
The third week of Advent is known as Gaudette Sunday. On Sunday we lit the third candle, the rose candle. Rose vestments were worn to emphasize our joy that Christmas is near~ "Rejoice: the Lord is nigh." As Christmas draws near, the Church emphasizes the joy which should be in our hearts over all that the birth of our Savior means for us.
Lord Jesus
Master of both the light and the darkness, send your Holy Spirit upon our preparations for Christmas. We who have so much to do and seek quiet spaces to hear your voice each day, We who are anxious over many things look forward to your coming among us. We who are blessed in so many ways long for the complete joy of your kingdom. We whose hearts are heavy seek the joy of your presence. We are your people, walking in darkness, yet seeking the light. To you, we say, “Come Lord Jesus!”
Amen.
