Third Sunday of Advent
Third Sunday of Advent
ACTIVITIES
Learning the Meaning of Justice
Scripture calls St. Joseph a just man, which means one who is law-abiding and trustworthy. Talk about a person you know who seems to fit this description. You may wish to tell that person how you see his/her example of just living.
Acts of Justice
Is there someone you know who is not being treated fairly? Try to do a hidden act of kindness for that person.
Building Family Unity
Spend extra time at home helping to build family unity just by your presence and selflessness.
Around the Table Prayer
As we prepare for the birth of Jesus, we give you thanks for this food and drink, signs of your gracious love. May this meal strengthen us to share our gifts with the hungry and all who look for your justice and mercy. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen
• Family members may wish to share one way they have experienced the love of the Lord Jesus in their home today.
• Is there someone in your family with whom you need to be reconciled? Can you pray for that person? Or can you pray for the grace to be reconciled?

Scripture Readings Isaiah 61:1-2, 10-11 I Thessalonians 5:16 – 24 John I:6-8, 19 –28
Theme: Bring Joy Through Justice
Reflection
Like Isaiah, the spirit of God is upon us to comfort the brokenhearted. In joyful times, we celebrate family time together. In hurt or in conflict, we work to heal the rifts and wounds of our family. St. Joseph was a just man which means he was law-abiding and in tune with God’s presence in his life. He modeled faith and trust that the Spirit of God would carry him through life. We are called to do the same.
Questions
• What work of justice could you do this week to bring someone joy?
• What could you do for someone this week to make him/her happy?
“Mary and Joseph”
See the stained glass cut-out of Mary and Joseph. Cut, color, and place them in the stained glass window.
How do Mary and Joseph fit into the Nativity scene?
