Third Sunday of Advent
Today we celebrate the Third Sunday of
Advent, Gaudete Sunday-meaning
RejoiceRejoiceRejoiceRejoice.
The Church call us to rejoice because the
coming of Jesus is close at hand.
We must become disciples of John the Baptist. We must look into our actions, reforming those that are not of good intentions and
perfecting those that are. Our goal is to act with only one intention: conforming ourselves to the true image of God in us. For the reason
why Jesus came, was to show us our true self in God.
We must remember God’s grace is never lacking, and if we are faithful in cooperating with the first grace God gives us, we will receive many more. For this reason in Holy Scripture, God recommends us to be faithful in following our good impulses, insights and inspirations. When we do this the greatness of
God’s infinite mercy will surely shine through.

Placement Of The Christmas Crèche at Christ, Prince of Peace Church
In enhancing the environment before the Nativity of The Lord,
the crèche would be most appropriately placed in the left naïve,
Our Lady of Czestochowa Icon. In this area the greatest amount of reverence can be shown to the crèche. Placing the crèche in
the naïve acts as a way to symbolize a well-established Christian
tradition of the nativity being depicted in a cave. The cave more
specifically symbolizes the Cave of the Nativity in Bethlehem,
underneath the Church of the Nativity. In
placing the crèche in the left naïve, it will
better symbolize a cave setting and just as the
three wise men traveled to see Jesus in a small
cave, we too, can travel to see our Lord and
gather close to see Him.
Placement Of The Christmas
Crèche at St. Lawrence Church The Christmas crèche, an object of devotion,
in St. Lawrence Church, is placed at the altar
by St. Joseph. With this in place on the right
front of the church, it offers many to pass by, whether it be at
communion time, or a visit with family before or after Mass. The openness of the crèche offers us to draw near and offer our
prayers to the new born Jesus.
The season of Advent, in preparation for Our Lord’s
Birth, ought to make us come closer to the Lord and inspire us to
forget all that keeps us from Him, so that at His birth we present
ourselves to the One that saves us.
