The third Sunday in Advent is a reminder that Christ brings light even our darkest times. Paul learned that our problems here on earth don't compare to the “eternal weight of glory.'
December 15, 2024, is the third Sunday of Advent, known in many Christian traditions as Gaudete Sunday. The name stems from the Latin Vulgate translation of Philippians 4:4: Gaudete in Domino semper. Our English translation reads, 'Rejoice in the Lord always.' This particular Sunday marks a turn in the Advent liturgy. For the previous two weeks, our focus has been on waiting, preparing and repenting, symbolized by the deep purple candles on the Advent wreath.
The prophet Isaiah foretold: 'He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces, he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed .
