We light the 3 rd candle, coloured rose for joy, and we pray for the spirit of repentance and reconciliation, to purify us in readiness for His coming. Reader: Let the wilderness and the dry lands rejoice; let the wasteland exult and bloom. Response: Come, lord, fill us with the fire of your love. Reader: Courage, do not be afraid. Look, your God is coming to save you. Response: Come, Lord, fill us with the fire of your love. Reader: He will exult over you with joy. Response: Come, Lord, fill us with the fire of your love. The third Sunday of Advent is traditionally called Gaudete (rejoice) Sunday. … “Rejoice” is the first word in the entrance antiphon for today's Mass taken from Philippians 4:4, 5: “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice! The Lord is near…. This Sunday is a joyful reminder that our salvation is near. This week's Gospel Reading continues our Advent reflection on the person and message of John the Baptist….we hear Jesus' message to John the Baptist, now in prison, about the signs of the kingdom found in Jesus' ministry and Jesus' assessment of John's role in the Kingdom of God. This passage is a reminder that the beginning of salvation is already mysteriously present to us, but also yet to be fulfilled. Salvation is already in our midst as manifest in the miraculous deeds of Jesus and in the Church. But salvation is also to be fulfilled in the coming reign of God. Even as we observe our world today, we can find glimpses of God's work among us. Even more, we help to prepare the way for God's kingdom by our words and our deeds. This message is indeed a cause for rejoicing. (Loyola Press) POSITION VACANT – PARISH SECRETARY, KU-RING-GAI CHASE CATHOLIC PARISH.
