Rejoice or Mourn?

Rejoice or Mourn?

Advent 15

Today marks the third week of Advent.  This Sunday is known as “Gaudete” and is symbolized with a pink candle and often the wearing of pink vestments.  It is also the beginning of our week discussing grace from the subjective approach.

Subjective probability is an individual person’s measure of belief that an event will occur.  Most of us believe in the eventuality of our own death and the death of every other person living.  Death is the natural order of things begun with our birth.  It is the belief of what happens after our physical bodies cease their function that separates people into groups.

The third Sunday in Advent signifies that we are but fourteen days away from the celebration of Christmas and the commemoration of the birth of the man known as Jesus of Nazareth.
