Father Henry’s Reflection
The 3rd Sunday of the Advent Season
The pink candle is also known as the Shepherd Can-
dle to highlight the joy the shepherds experienced when
they received the good news about Christ’s birth (Luke 2:8-
20). During the middle of the night, the darkest time, the
shepherds encountered angels.
This is an extreme happiness that cannot be de-
terred by present circumstances. This type of joy comes
from God alone. Joy can often be experienced when a Chris-
tian thinks about salvation, eternal life, or Jesus..
It is an eager anticipation about wonderful things to
come. The shepherds experienced this as they ran to Beth-
lehem to see Jesus.
El tercer domingo de la temporada de Adviento
La vela rosa también se conoce como la Vela del Pastor para resaltar el gozo que experimen-
taron los pastores cuando recibieron las buenas nuevas sobre el nacimiento de Cristo (Lucas 2: 8-20).
Durante la mitad de la noche, el momento más oscuro, los pastores se encontraron con ángeles.
Ésta es una felicidad extrema que no puede ser disuadida por las circunstancias actuales. Este
tipo de gozo proviene solo de Dios. El gozo se puede experimentar a menudo cuando un cristiano
piensa en la salvación, la vida eterna o Jesús.
Es una expectativa impaciente por las cosas maravillosas que vendrán. Los pastores experimen-
taron esto mientras corrían a Belén para ver a Jesús.
John the Baptist is a model evangelizer. He
knows he is but a finger pointing at the sun. He
himself is not the sun, although whatever light is
in him comes from the sun. So it is with us. We
are filled with light—our church, our community,
ourselves. God wants us to let that light be seen
by others so that they too might come to live in
the light. But we ourselves—neither as individu-
als, nor as a church—are the light. We are but
witnesses to the light who is Christ ever coming
everywhere and in everyone who comes into the
world. He is the one and the only one to whom we
should point. And all our lives and ministry, like
John’s are a preparation for the shining of that
light ever more fully.
The second reading tells us how we are to witness:
through our rejoicing. Rejoice always! The word
resounds through the first two readings as well as
the psalm. Catholics used to call this “Gaudete”
or “Rejoice!” Sunday. We are not to be heralds of
gloom and doom. We rejoice because we await
God’s coming in glory. Our message as well as
our lives should be one of rejoicing. After all it is
good news we are called to share.
Juan el Bautista es un evangelizador modelo. Sa-
be que no es más que un dedo apuntando al sol. Él
mismo no es el sol, aunque cualquier luz que haya
en él proviene del sol. Así es con nosotros. Esta-
mos llenos de luz: nuestra iglesia, nuestra comun-
idad, nosotros mismos. Dios quiere que dejemos
que otros vean esa luz para que ellos también
puedan vivir en la luz. Pero nosotros mismos, ni
como individuos ni como iglesia, somos la luz. No
somos más que testigos de la luz que es Cristo que
siempre viene a todas partes y en todos los que
vienen al mundo. Él es el único al que debemos
señalar. Y todas nuestras vidas y ministerios, co-
mo los de Juan, son una preparación para que esa
luz brille cada vez más plenamente.
La segunda lectura nos dice cómo debemos testi-
ficar: a través de nuestro regocijo. ¡Regocíjate
siempre! La palabra resuena tanto en las dos pri-
meras lecturas como en el salmo. Los católicos
solían llamar a esto "Gaudete" o "¡Regocíjate!" Do-
mingo. No debemos ser heraldos de pesimismo y
fatalidad. Nos regocijamos porque esperamos la
venida de Dios en gloria. Tanto nuestro mensaje
como nuestras vidas deben ser de regocijo.
Después de todo, son buenas noticias que estamos
llamados a compartir.
