Joy to the World

Gaudete Sunday: A Sunday specifically during this Advent season that we are called to great rejoicing, for the Lord’s coming is very near and by His coming, a new dawn of better and happy life of faith is ushered in for us. A dawn of a redemptive experience for those who have been battered negatively by the challenging and heart-wrecking situations they are exposed to, situations like, conditions of helplessness, hopelessness, servitude or finding oneself under the bondage of sickness, sin and death. The invitation to rejoicing is not just to give a false hope that makes people forget their bitter or painful experiences.
