Learn about Gaudete (Gow-day-tay) Sunday.The 3rd Sunday of Advent
Learn how to live with great joy
This Sunday, we celebrate Gaudete (Gow-day-tay) Sunday, a day of joy in the midst of Advent as we light the rose-colored candle on the Advent wreath. Gaudete comes from the Latin word for "rejoice," and it reminds us of the joy we find in the Lord. This week’s activity is based on Philippians 4:4-7. In this passage, St. Paul encourages us to rejoice always, to give thanks, and to trust in God's peace instead of worrying.
1) Read the passage together
Read Philippians 4:4-7, which you can find in the Youth Missal on page 51. If you do not have a missal, you can click here to read the passage.
2) Read the page on Living Joyfully
3) Answer the questions on how we can grow in Joy
4) Let go of worries
On a separate piece of paper (size of a cue card), write down something that brings you fear or worry. You will bring this paper to Mass with you this weekend.
