Summary
It's the third week of Advent (and time to light the pink candle!). Join us as we discuss joy this week.
+ MONDAY: The pink candle in our Advent wreaths is also known as the Shepherd's Candle. Find out why this is fitting.
+ TUESDAY: Joy is not quite a virtue--instead it is a FRUIT of living the virtues.
+ WEDNESDAY: God created us to be happy...but what is true happiness (joy)?
+ THURSDAY: The opposite of joy is selfish sadness. Why does focusing on others (and not myself) lead to joy?
+ FRIDAY: We are so close to Christmas! Today you are challenged to stop thinking about what you are "getting" and instead spend time thinking about how you can be a "giver" instead.
ANNOUNCEMENT: There will be no new episodes of the podcast next week! See you after the New Year!

| 0:31.7 | But before we return there, please join me in praying the family prayer for Advent, |
| 0:37.1 | which we are memorizing this month |
| 0:39.3 | and the Be a Saint Kids Club. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, |
| 0:45.6 | amen. God of love, your son Jesus is your greatest gift to us. He is a sign of your love. Help us walk in that love during the weeks of |
| 0:56.8 | Advent as we wait and prepare for his coming. We pray this in the name of Jesus, our Savior, |
| 1:05.0 | Amen. So friends, we've talked a lot about joy this week, how it is a fruit or a result of practicing love. |
