Happy Gaudete Sunday! Today, on this third Sunday of Advent, we light the rose colored candle. 🕯🕯🕯 The candle’s color symbolizes the “brightening” of the normal violet.
🩷Candle Name: The Shepherd’s Candle
🩷Representation: Joy
🩷Scripture Reflection: “And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.” Luke 2:20
🩷Advent Wreath Prayer: “Dear Jesus, help us focus on you during this busy season. May we stay aware of the joy you bring into our lives. We want to find you in the everyday moments and come with hearts of gratitude to your manger on Christmas. Amen.”
