3rd Sunday - Year D, coming of the Lord: God never abandons, but loves; The Spirit of the Lord is within me: he has sent me to bring the good news to the poor. The third Sunday of the coming of the Lord is called ‘Joy Sunday’, and this is confirmed by the opening hymn for this Sunday, which says ‘Rejoice in the Lord always! Yes, I say rejoice still! for the Lord is near! The Philippians are a church founded by Saint Paul, who encouraged them to rejoice in the Lord always.

The word Advent comes from the Latin word ‘adventus’, which means ‘to come’. Advent has two purposes: it is a time for Christians to prepare for Christmas and a time to focus our attention on the expectation of the Lord's second coming in the last days. The date on which Advent begins varies from year to year. It is divided into four weeks and generally begins between 27 November and 3 December. At the beginning of Advent, last week was the new year of the Church, and now we are entering the new liturgical year, the D year.

: Presented by Radio Don Bosco; Category: Mba ho vanona; Also available:; Published: 05 December 2024

Paying tax is a way of showing that a person is a good citizen. Taxes are part of the elements that can be used to develop a city; when we pay taxes, we can freely express our opinions, and we are also part of the financial partners for development. The choice made by the Malagasy MPs regarding the State budget is a choice that does not bring good results, and it also neglects education, health and agriculture, which are the livelihoods of the Malagasy people. Mba ho vanona’ programme in collaboration with General Désiré Ramakavelo.

THE ADVENT

During the Advent period, the Catholic Church uses a sign called the Advent wreath, made up of 4 candles lit on each of the four Sundays before Christmas. These candles represent the four weeks of ‘Advent’, with one candle lit each Sunday and the number of lights corresponding to the week. Three of the candles must be purple and the one used in the third week must be pink.

Love and Salvation

Christmas is a great joy, because it is the love of God that has come to us, proclaims Fr. Bizimana Innocent, Provincial Superior of the Salesians Don Bosco of Madagascar and Mauritius, presenting his Christmas greetings. Salvation is accomplished, so life is not in danger of disappearing. It is this love and this salvation that we wish to fill our life so that we have peace.
