Today was the 3rd Sunday of Advent. At the Episcopal church service this morning, we celebrated what is often referred to as "Gaudete Sunday " Gaudete is a Latin word for REJOICE
SO, we rejoice this Sunday of Advent at the Coming of Christ. Symbolically, we meditate on the culture, the time and the eager expectation of the Messiah who was expected and anticipated into Judea. On a deeper level, we focus on the coming of the Christ within, the rebirth of Christ in us and Among us which is celebrated this most beautiful time of the year.
Children are eagerly awaiting the coming of Christmas and the material celebrations that it brings. More Aesthetic Christians like myself, have moved away from the material and see it as a purely spiritual experience, with the same wonder and awe that a child sees when looking at the decorated tree, the lights the music. We are deep into the beautiful message of the Advent season, and celebrate it daily through our thoughts and works. And we rejoice constantly, at the coming Word and Message of Love and Peace manifested in the birth of Christ.
Amen
