3RD WEEK OF ADVENT

” PREPARE YE THE WAY OF THE LORD ” .  THESE ARE WORDS HEARD OFTEN IN ADVENT, THE WORD ADVENT ORIGINATING FROM THE LATIN WORD ” ADVENIO ” WHICH MEANS ‘COMING TO’ . 

SO WE PREPARE FOR THE COMING OF CHRIST.  THIS WEEK WE LIT OUR PINK CANDLE IN OUR ADVENT WREATH.  THIS CANDLE SYMBOLIZES JOY.   WE ARE TOLD ( 1ST THESSALONIANS 5:16) TO BE JOYFUL ALWAYS. 

ONE WAY THAT I FIND JOY IN THIS BUSY SEASON IS TO BE STILL.  I TRY AND FIND A TIME EVERYDAY TO BE WITH GOD .  THIS COULD BE IN PRAYER THROUGH MY DAILY ROSARY OR JUST IN MY THOUGHTS AS I DRIVE THROUGH THE CITY DOING MY ERRANDS .  WHEN I AM ‘ STILL’ IN MY MIND OR IN MY BODY I CAN MAKE ROOM FOR THOUGHTS OF GOD AND ALL HE HAS DONE FOR ME …AND I AM INDEED JOY-FILLED.
