Gaudate! Let us rejoice! This third Sunday of Advent is all about the promises that are to be fulfilled by God in the days and years to come. The word Gaudate means to rejoice, and so we should as we pass into the latter parts of the Advent season.
As we light the rose candle at Mass and around our dinner tables this week, it is a reminder to us that even though we are anxiously and patiently awaiting the coming of Christ for Christmas, that our hope wont be put in the wrong place! Many times in life we allow our expectations to be to high and are let down when they aren't fulfilled how, when and where we put them. With the Lord, this is impossible!
Let us put our hope in the Lord that we may truly rejoice when the promises that He has made are brought to fruition!
