With truth and grace


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.
