The Third Sunday of Advent: Rejoice: the Lord is nigh As Christmas draws near, the Church emphasizes the joy which should be in our hears over all that the birth of our Savior means for us. The great joy of Christians is to see the day drawing nigh when the Lord will come again in His glory to lead them into His kingdom. The oft-repeated Veni ( Come ) of Advent is an echo not only of the prophets but also of the conclusion of the Apocalypse of St. John: Come, Lord Jesus, the last words of the New Testament. Today is know as Gaudete Sunday. The term Gaudete refers to the first word of the Entrance Antiphon, Rejoice. Rose vestments are worn to emphasize our joy that Christmas is near, and we also light the rose candle on our Advent wreath. -from CatholicCulture.org

No, the prophecy of Micheus is still being verified every day, but predominantly during the Advent season; for the selfsame incarnate eternal Son of God who journeyed to Bethlehem to be born there physically, now to the end of time comes to human souls as to spiritual Bethlehems, there to be born anew, again and again. But be sure to picture these merciful spiritual journeyings of Christ to the Bethlehem of souls as all too often sadly realistic spiritual repetitions of His first long journey over the rugged road from Nazareth to Bethlehem. Meditate long on the wanton and malicious opposition He encounters on His way to them from souls that leave their senses and heart and mind to be ruled by earthly vanities, and their whole selves to be willing victims of the sensual and selfish illusions and witcheries of the seven capital vices. Can you still fail to see why Isaias and the Baptist compare the hardships of the way of the world s Messiah-King to souls with a rough, crooked, and almost impassable road up steep hills and down precipitous valleys and through dangerous mountain passes? Do you wonder that these prophets of His coming insist so strongly that merely sentimental longings and routine prayers, however multiplied, cannot prepare us worthily for the entrance He must expect and the welcome He craves? Pray very honestly, therefore, that you may begin to see the practical reasons for the Church s crying out in the desert world, and even into your own interior soul and heart: Prepare ye the way of the Lord: Make straight in the wilderness His paths; Every valley shall be exalted; Every mountain and hill shall be made low; And the crooked shall be made straight; And the rough ways plain (Is. 40:3, 4) Then shall you see the salvation of God!
