BE JOYOUS AND LET YOUR JOY BE COMMUNICATIVE: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS: 3RD SUNDAY OF ADVENT CYCLE C, AND (DECEMBER 12TH, SOLEMNITY OF OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE IN MÉXICO) 2021

Our Christian life is a call to us to be joyous and to let our joy be communicative to our brothers and sisters around us. This third Sunday of Advent is the celebration of joy. In the Holy Mass of today, the first four words of the Entrance Antiphon begins with Gaudete in Domino Semper, which means, Rejoice in the Lord always (Philippians 4:4).
