On this third Sunday of Advent, we light the Candle of Joy, celebrating the good news of great joy that came with the birth of Jesus. This joy is not dependent on our circumstances but is rooted in the unshakable truth of God’s love and salvation.

“Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.” Luke 2:10

As we continue our Advent journey, may our hearts be filled with the joy of Christ, and may we share that joy with the world around us. Let His presence be the source of our gladness this season and always.
