Third Sunday of Advent


Rejoice I Say!


Then I spent a long time before Him. I cannot describe the joy that I felt through the words of the Lord. (Elizabeth) (September 4, 1964)


Today’s Readings: Brothers and sisters:

Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again: rejoice! Your kindness should be known to all. The Lord is near. Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4)


Prayer Meditation- Lord, we thank You for this special Sunday in Advent. For on this Gaudete Sunday, we start to see the rose light of dawn in the darkness as we wait and long for You! Lord, this time of year especially can bring anxiety and worry for many reasons- but Lord set us free from those chains as we pray and praise You with thanksgiving! Because You are always near, whether we can feel You near or not. Let us speak these healing words over our lives today!

Thursday of the Twenty Fifth Week of Ordinary Time

Joy Comes In The Morning

All morning, even as I completed my household tasks, it was as if I was not living on earth. The tasks did not occupy my mind. I was entirely possessed by the presence of the Lord Jesus and the Blessed Virgin. (Elizabeth) (December 12, 1964)

Today’s Readings:

Fill us at daybreak with your kindness,
that we may shout for joy and gladness all our days.
Prosper the work of our hands for us!
Prosper the work of our hands! (Psalm 90)

Prayer Meditation: O Lord our daily routines can seem so monotonous and hard- what is all of it even worth? Yet Your Mercies are new each morning! Lord fill us with Your Kindness that we may praise You in our everyday tasks today no matter how small and mundane! Fill us with Your Joy that we may be possessed by You!
