Today is Gaudete Sunday. Since Advent is meant to be a period of
preparation, reflection and quiet (hahahahahahaha—no, really, that’s what it
was for centuries, but we’ve totally blown past that in the past hundred years
or so), the third Sunday is the break from all that. You add a pink candle to
the two purple ones you’ve lighted already, and you focus on rejoicing.
I can think of no better entry for today than Aretha Franklin
singing “Joy to the World” at Rockefeller Center. Turn up the volume and rejoice.
