Third Sunday of Advent

Third Sunday of Advent

Reflection

“Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again: Rejoice!  Your kindness should be known to all. The Lord is near.” ~ Philippians 4:4-5

Prayer

God of Joy,

As we enter into this third week of Advent, we rejoice in the approaching celebration of Jesus’ birth. Jesus came into this world to reveal the true meaning of love and how we are to treat one another. When we imitate the love of Jesus, we know that He is near, for such love can only be instilled through Him. Help us to take time this week to reflect on the true meaning of love and to rejoice in our role in sharing that love with others. In your name, we pray. Amen.
