Isn’t it amazing how fast the time goes? Christmas is just around the corner, and as we begin the third week of Advent we light the rose-colored candle of the Advent Wreath. The Third Sunday of Advent is sometimes called “Gaudete Sunday,” using the Latin word that begins our second reading this Sunday: “Rejoice in the Lord always.
