The third Sunday in Advent: the candle of joy

The Third Sunday of Advent, also known as "Gaudete Sunday" (from the Latin gaudete, meaning "rejoice"), is a special moment in the Advent cycle. On this day, the third candle in the wreath, which is often pink, is lit, marking a joyful break in spiritual preparation. This candle is the Joy Candle. It symbolises the deep and lasting joy that the birth of Jesus brings to believers and to humanity as a whole. While the first two candles led us to reflect on hope and peace, the Third Sunday of Advent invites us to celebrate the joy of waiting and to savour the signs of the approaching light. Read more...

Advent: a time of preparation and reflection before Christmas

Advent is an important period in the Christian calendar, marking a time of spiritual preparation and expectation before Christmas, the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. The word "Advent" comes from the Latin adventus, meaning "coming" or "advent". In this context, it refers to the coming of the Messiah, announced in the Old Testament and awaited by believers. The season of Advent begins four Sundays before 25 December and therefore lasts around four weeks, although its length may vary slightly from one year to the next. It is a period dedicated to meditation, spiritual reflection, prayer, and good deeds, in order to prepare minds and hearts for the celebration of the Nativity. Read more...
