Joy is more than just "being happy", nor is it the superficial transient possession of gifts. Rather, joy is much deeper and more lasting. Jesus is Joy, the Gift of Cod. As an otd hymn goes, "Jesus, thou joy of living hearts."

Third Sunday Of Advent Fear & Intimacy Sts. Peter and Paul Church

December 16, 2018

GOOD NEWS! There was anxious anticipation amongst the Jews about the coming Messiah. Yet, we have no reason for anxiety.

Anxiety comes from fear of the unknown. When we’re unsure of how things will turn out, we get anxious. When we lack control or can’t plan for our security, we get anxious.

Fear and anxiety are the enemies of intimacy and love.

Fear makes us run far enough away so we feel removed from danger, safe from the aggressor. Or it drives us to hold someone, seeking strength in attachment. But fear doesn’t create space for true intimacy. It either creates excessive distance or suffocating closeness.

John the Baptist didn’t want to create fear or caution of God. Rather, he wanted to open hearts to receive God in love. Ours is not a God of fear, but of love.

In Jesus’ Incarnation, he shows just how much he wants to be with us. He comes to make his home among us, while waiting for us to accept him and make room for him. He doesn’t force, but comes with patience and love.

Knowing that he loves and wants the best for us, we merely need to make ourselves known to him by revealing our deepest needs to him with prayer.

John the Baptist came to prepare the path for the Messiah, and many responded by asking, “What should we do to prepare?” Put aside anxiety and fear, simply prepare a home for him, and then let him in.

Reading I - Zephaniah 3: 14-18a

The prophet Zephaniah invites the people of God to rejoice because salvation is at hand. Salvation from their enemies and from all evil is coming. God rejoices over all those who do their duty with gladness.

Reading II - Philippians 4:4-7 St. Paul reminds us to go about our daily lives and duties with a thankful heart. In this way, we can have peace in our lives Reading III - Luke 3:10-18 John the Baptist was the forerunner of Jesus. He told the people that they must repent. They should continue doing their work satisfactorily and watch for the coming of the Messiah.
