Today is the third Sunday of Advent. We light the pink coloured candle which symbolizes joy. We find joy in knowing that soon it will be Christmas, a time for celebration and a time to remember that Jesus is the reason for the season.
As light comes from our Advent candles,
May the blessing of Jesus Christ come to us,
Warming our hearts and brightening our way with God’s love.
Amen.
