3rd Sunday of Advent

With the Third Sunday of Advent comes the lighting of the rose-colored candle.  It is the candle of joy.  It is pink to remind us of our Easter joy and the incredible happiness and delight we have at the Resurrection of Christ.   The fullness of incarnation is seen when we realize that even death has been conquered by the goodness and grace of the God of Life.
