Today's Advent theme for the Third Sunday of Advent to ponder is:
Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you; he will prepare
your way before you.
So how might we create a Spirituality in Action (SIA) for today from this theme?
My suggestions are as follows:
- The Holy Family is born with the birth of Jesus. Say a prayer for the members of your family, asking God to hold each of them in the palm of His hand.
- Light the rose coloured candle. Pray for all those in our families that have drifted away from the Catholic faith and ask that with God's grace they may return to the light and warmth of Christ's love.
- Today is also known as Gaudate Sunday-rejoicing Sunday. Take time to reflect on our lives and all that we have to rejoice about even in the midst of sadness, grief and difficulty.
Let us spend some time this day giving thanks to God for our circumstance in life and rejoice. Even in the most tragic of circumstances, there is always something however small to be grateful for. Rejoice in that aspect.
