THIRD SUNDAY IN ADVENT (YEAR C) ?Zeph 3:14-18a; Isa 12:2-3, 4bcde, 5-6 (R.v.6); Phil 4:4-7; Luke 3:10-18 ?”REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS” (Phil 4:4) Obviously, Christmas is a period of joy for most people.

It is all about the extraordinary year of mercy which Pope Francis declared would be observed in the Church from December 8, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, to November 20. It is going to be a holy year of mercy in which we shall be invited to reflect deeply on the ever merciful nature of God and how we can...

Hence, I wish to say a happy new year to you.

The readings of today invite us to allow our resolutions in this new liturgical year to be one...
