“Rejoice in the Lord always!” (Philippians 4: 4) The preceding Bible passage is taken from the entrance hymn of this Sunday. Traditionally, the Third Sunday of Advent is also known as “Joyous Sunday”, when the colour of the chasuble worn by the priest is pink. “Joy” and “peace” can be said to be closely related. When Jesus appeared to His disciples after the Resurrection, His greetings were always: “Peace be with you!” Jesus understood that before receiving the Holy Spirit, the disciples were greatly distressed at what was happening. Nowadays, we might associate “joy” and “peace” with the lack of misfortune. Hence, whenever we go through times of calamity, we lose our “joy” and “peace”. However, this idea is incorrect. Examining Jesus’ life, He was attacked more often than loved, yet He always maintained His calm disposition. “Learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart.” To the soldier who struck Him, He said: “If I said something wrong, testify as to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike me?” From this anecdote, we can realize that “joy” and “peace” originate from being able to live in Christ and to learn from his gentle humbleness.
