As we light the third, rose colored Advent candle, we remember the joy of the shepherds as they heard the good news of the angels and went to look for the newborn Christ child. This week’s reading from Philippians captures the spirit of this week, “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, Rejoice.” Perhaps you remember the musical round that makes use of that phrase? Is that you humming?
May the hope, peace, joy, and love of the Advent season be with you now and throughout the coming year.
Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.
Thanks be to God!
