Reflection Questions:
What do you think Mary felt like with an angel visiting her?
This was major news for Mary. She just found out that she was pregnant with the son of God. She immediately went to care for her relative Elizabeth. When we get good news from God, and learn more about Jesus how willing are we to go and take that news to others and take care of them?

ADVENT
3rd Sunday in Advent: During Advent we light candes on an advent wreath as the light of anticipation grows awaiting the coming of Jesus. Each week we will give a prayer to say during the lighting of the candle.
Prayer Week 3:
THIRD WEEK Third Week The joyful Sunday in Advent (known as “Guadete”) is represented by rose (or pink) instead of the penitential purple color. Each night during the third week the mother of the family (or another family member) lights the pink as well as the two previously burned purple candles after the following prayer has been said.
Prayer
Leader: O Lord, we beg Thee, incline Thy ear to our prayers and enlighten the darkness of our minds by the grace of Thy visitation. Through Christ our Lord.
All: Amen
The three candles are allowed to burn during the evening meals of the third week.
