Father Valentine looks good in pink, don’t you think?
Advent is the same liturgical color as Lent, but the environment is so different. Advent is filled with hope. We know someone is coming and it is not Santa.
Last Sunday’s Gaudate Sunday, liturgical color was pink. You know that when you add white to purple, you will get pink. Think of adding the white of the light of Christ to our lives. The new pink hue reveals joy.
Shout for joy, O daughter Zion!
Sing joyfully, O Israel!
Be glad he will rejoice over you with gladness,
and renew you in his love,
he will sing joyfully because of you,
as one sings at festivals. and exult with all your heart,
Sing like at a festival.
Speaking of singing…. What is your favorite Christmas song?
What Christmas song touches your heart?
Why?
What memory does it bring back?
Where were you?
How old were you?
Think about that memory, that time that your heart was opened and filled with love.
