It is Gaudete Sunday! Rejoice!We are more than halfway through Advent, and the celebration of the birth of our Savior will soon arrive.
"Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again: rejoice!" ~~ Philippians 4:4
And, do not panic! I know that Christmas is only, oh, say, tennish days away. But, again, I say: do not panic!
Unless you're Jennifer, and you also have your daughter's First Holy Communion approaching. Jennifer has free reign to panic.
But, the rest of us are called to remember that even though we're headed down the path of busy-ness, if some of that busywork falls by the wayside, or is someone gets the flu and all your plans are for naught, or if something this year just isn't quite right, isn't the perfection you had hoped for, it's okay. Christ will still come. He came two thousand years ago, He is here now, He will arrive for Christmas, and He will remain with us always.
Again I say, rejoice!
"Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus." ~~ 1Thess. 5:16-18
