Stewardship Message December 16th, 2018
Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, make
your request known to God. Phillipians 4:6
St. Paul reminds us that our God is an abun-
dant God, the ultimate giver of gifts. He promises to give us all that we need. When we trust that God will take care of us, it is easier
for us to share what we have been given.

THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT
PINK CANDLE = GAUDETE SUNDAY = JOY
What is Gaudete Sunday?
In the Roman Catholic Church the third Sun-day in Advent is called Gaudete Sunday. Gau-dete means "rejoice" in Latin.
This name comes from the first line of the introit (opening prayer) for the third Sunday in Advent, which encourages parishioners to "rejoice in the Lord always."
On this Sunday rose vestments are permitted in the Eucharistic liturgy. (Etym. Latin gau-dete, rejoice.)
ADVENT MEDITATION
If there’s one word that sums up the Lord’s advent, it would likely be the word “expectation”. The word “expectation” con-notes both waiting and hopefulness. We might think of children during December who write out their wish lists with the expectation of a visit from Saint Nicholas. However, in English the word “expecting” is also related to the ex-perience of pregnancy, which in the person of Mary lies at the heart of Advent. But in today’s Gospel passage, there’s a heightened sense of expectation. Think of children during December expecting St. Nich-olas’ visit, and then think of those same chil-dren on Christmas Eve, with their expectation brimming over. That’s the sense of expecta-tion that the evangelist puts across in today’s Gospel passage, telling us that “the people” were not just “in expectation” of “the Christ”, but in fact “were filled with expectation”.
