Hi! and happy holy and family day to all of us; and, it's just 12 days to go before Christmas, GUYS. For our first-thing-first this 3rd Sunday of Advent:
THE GOOD NEWS (13 December 2015)
"Cry out with joy, O daughter of Zion; rejoice, O people of Israel! Sing joyfully with all your heart, daughter of Jerusalem!
YAHWEH has lifted your sentence and has driven your enemies away. YAHWEH, the King of Israel, is with you; do not fear any misfortune.
On that day they will say to Jerusalem: Do not be afraid nor let your hands tremble, for YAHWEH your GOD is within you, YAHWEH, saving warrior. HE will jump for joy on seeing you, for HE has revived HIS love. For you HE will cry out with joy, as you do in the days of the Feast.
I will drive away the evil I warned you about, and you will no longer be shamed." - Zephaniah 3:14-18
(YAHWEH will be in Jerusalem to share HIS happiness with them. The Holy GOD suddenly shows that HE is like a young man in love who is not concerned about social considerations.
Cry out with joy, O daughter of Zion; YAHWEH, the King of Israel, is with you; do not fear any misfortune. In the Gospel of Luke, the same words are addressed to Mary at the Annunciation: "Rejoice, the LORD is with you. Do not fear Mary, you will bear the Savior" [Luke 1:28].)
