2 THIRD WEEK OF ADVENT Our continuing journey of Advent can seem so brief and it is hard to imagine that in just over a week, we will be celebrating the great feast of Christmas together. (Yes, this year Christmas Eve is a Sunday and we have Christmas Day on the Monday: it is going to be a busy weekend! Do check the schedule to make sure that we celebrate both the Fourth Sunday of Advent and then also the great feast of Christmas.) As we have seen over the first two weeks of our season, with each week of Advent we are given markers or signs to guide us through this season and so to help us prepare for the coming of Jesus. So far we have had the two spiritual guides of watching and waiting and of preparing a way for the Lord. What about this last and very busy week of Advent? Our sign post or guide for this third week is a simple and yet potentially quite difficult message: rejoice, for the Lord is near! Today we celebrate what is sometimes called Gaudete or rejoicing Sunday, echoing the first words of the entrance antiphon for the Mass. We are asked to rejoice because the coming of our Lord and Saviour is near. This theme of rejoicing is marked in our readings, our prayers and in the option of having rose coloured vestments and Advent Wreath candle (rose being a mix of the purple of Advent and the white of Christmas). The word joy occurs so many times in the Sacred Scriptures in both the Old and the New Testaments and yet it is not always an easy word to understand, yet alone to live. It can be hard to be joyful if we are experiencing loss, or hurt, or a crisis in our lives. We can think of all the recent acts of violence and of terrorism here in the USA and in so many other places. Joy can also seem to be something fleeting or even superficial, or frustratingly elusive. So, when as Christians, we speak of joy (rather like other everyday words such as love, or peace, or freedom ) we need to recall that the word has a very particular meaning Despite all this, in our second reading at Mass today, St. Paul tells us to be joyful (and then goes on to tell us how we can do this as Christians). In fact, the word joy occurs twenty two times in the letters of St. Paul. He does not say this lightly or as a tired cliché and we can remember that St. Paul suffered much, both personally and also for preaching and living the Gospel. He asks us to rejoice in hope, in repentance, in salvation and even in suffering. So, what does he mean and what exactly is Christian joy? Well, the Christian understanding of joy certainly does not mean pretending all is fine, or of putting on a happy face or fixed smile when all is not good. The word used for joy in the New Testament is chairete and it is actually a word with many meaning and levels. To name a few of these, it first means a profound and real sense of God s love for us, a great feeling of trust and confidence in God so that whatever happens, we have His love and care. Christian joy then is not something superficial, nor as Bernard Bassett remarked is it contingent (that is depending on things going well, or on circumstances, or on others), but rather it is a gift and an inner peace and strength that is there regardless of life and its ups and downs. We might also say then that joy is also not so much a feeling, but rather a choice or a decision: to be joyful. Christian joy is also a spiritual way of living and seeing ourselves, others and the world so that we are tuned into God s will. As Abbot Marmion wrote, joy is the very echo of God s life within us. In this sense, joy is certainly an attitude to life and a spiritual gift. It is also eminently practical, especially when, with God s help, we try to develop spiritual values and a way of everyday living that are what we might call joy-giving, rather than joy-killing. With God s help, a great exercise during this third week of our Advent journey might be to strengthen all those things that, spiritually speaking, bring us joy and also root out those attitudes or values in our life that we know are joy-killers. As we hear in the Gospel, St. John the Baptist proclaims that he is not the Christ and that one is coming after him who is so much greater than him. We can rejoice because that greater one, Jesus Christ, comes to us. So, as we begin what is probably a crazy and busy week ahead whether at work or school or with all those Christmas preparations at home, let us live the words prayed at Mass today and our Advent theme: we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
