Joy – 3rd SUNDAY OF ADVENT

/ From the Pastor, Parish Life / By
Joy to the world!!!

Today we celebrate the 3rd Sunday of Advent. This Sunday we call rejoicing Sunday, or Sunday of JOY, because !we are very close to the meeting with Jesus in the feast of Christmas, (for that reason we use the pink color for the liturgy, we light the pink candle in the Advent Wreath too.) We fill the season of Christmas in our surroundings very well: in the stores, at work even in our private homes. But we have to prepare ourselves on the coming of Jesus in our lives; not only our exterior, but especially our whole interior; our spirituality and our conscience.

The Eucharist is the straight way to prepare ourselves for the coming of Jesus. During the Eucharist especially at the beginning we repent and confess our sins, we hear the Word of God, we celebrate the Liturgy of the Holy Communion and after this we start our mission to be the messenger of the Good News to our neighbors in our daily lives.

„John heard in prison of the works of the Christ and sent his disciples to Jesus”.
