Rejoicing in the Holy Spirit, Jesus praises the Father and reminds us that we are blessed in what we have seen and heard of God's revelation in the world. (Lectionary #176) December 2, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

I am SO EXCITED to talk to Pastor Rich Villodas about Advent and the Christian calendar. Advent officially started yesterday and Rich is helping us better understand why the Christian calendar even matters and what Advent means to our relationship with God. We're going to talk about what it looks like to wait well (which I don't like to do!), and we unpack the reality of living in the middle of both pain and rejoicing. Advent is all of it, right?  If you're looking for a study to go through this Advent, it's not too late to start one. You can grab it today and jump right in.

Read OnlineJesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I give you praise, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike.” Luke 10:23–24 We rejoice over many things in life. We might rejoice if we win a game, do well on a test, complete some task at home or work, or attend a celebration or party. Though rejoicing is an emotion tied to our human nature, true joy is spiritual in nature, a gift that overflows into human emotion.Try to imagine Jesus rejoicing in the Holy Spirit. Jesus' joy was perfect. As God, His unity with the Father and the Holy Spirit was beyond anything we can imagine. Therefore, when He experienced the perfection of spiritual joy, that joy overflowed into His perfect human nature, resulting in an emotional response that was more powerful than any of us will experience until the day we stand with our resurrected bodies before the Beatific Vision in the New Heavens and new Earth.When Jesus prayed, “I give you praise, Father…,” He was not only engaging in an intellectual exercise. He did not just make a public statement so that it would be written in Scripture or because it was the right thing to do. Rather, Jesus spoke His praises to the Father because His lived human experience, in that moment, was a human rejoicing with divine power. Jesus' all-consuming joy was perfectly ordered, deeply fulfilling, an appropriate response to His Father and the Holy Spirit, and contagious to those around Him. True spiritual joy is never contained; it overflows and touches the lives of others.By experiencing such joy in His human nature, Jesus further elevated human nature itself, making it possible for us to rejoice in the Holy Spirit with Him within our human souls, provided we humble ourselves before Him. Jesus praised the Father for revealing Himself to the childlike, those who are humble of heart. Seeing that was the cause of His joy. To be childlike in the eyes of God means to trust Him completely, to approach Him with openness and wonder, and to depend on Him for all things. It is the opposite of relying on our own understanding and wisdom, which often leads to pride and distance from God.True humility is nothing other than honesty with oneself before God. Humility makes us childlike because it opens our eyes to the truth that we are little spiritual children in need of God's fatherhood. If we pretend to be “wise and learned” before God, we only reveal our foolishness, the absence of divine wisdom. Reflect today on the perfection of spiritual joy in Jesus' divinity and its emotional effect upon His humanity. No one has ever rejoiced with the same joy as the Son of God. However, we are all called to live within that spiritual joy. This joy strengthens us in trials, deepens our love for others, and helps us live our faith with greater conviction and authenticity. Humble yourself before God today, begging for greater humility so that you will become a greater partaker of Jesus' joy, the joy He came to bestow upon the world. My humble Lord, You rejoiced as You saw Your Father reveal hidden and divine mysteries to those who were humble of heart and childlike. Please bestow Your grace upon me so that I will also grow in divine wisdom, remaining humble and childlike, to fill Your human soul with the deepest joy. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: Sancta Trinitas by Lawrence OP, license CC BY-NC-ND 2.0.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

So, here is a problem, I am browsing through social media, and I see someone having the success I desire to have. Instead of being happy for them, internally I am sad I am not having that success. Obviously, that is the wrong response. I have learned through the Word of God that the correct response is to rejoice when others are winning, as that is a key to us winning.  Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com                  

Jesus is offering crown rewards to believers. What are those crown rewards? How does a person win a crown reward? What if you win more than one crown? Will they stack up on top of one another like checkers? Those are good questions. Join me as we examine the nature of these rewards and as we focus on the crown of rejoicing.

Welcome to the “Prison Pulpit” on the China Compass podcast! I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben. Today we have a couple of guests on the podcast, the late C.H. Spurgeon and Richard Wurmbrand, who both have something very helpful to say about Thanksgiving; specifically, giving thanks in ALL circumstances. Follow me on X (@chinaadventures) where I share, among other things, daily reminders to pray for China. Also, feel free to email any questions or comments to bfwesten at gmail dot com. And last but not least, learn more about (most of) our strategic prayer and missions projects @ PrayGiveGo.us!

In God's Underground - https://richardwurmbrandfoundation.com/pdfs/IGU-english.pdf But let me preface that with the challenge to pray and intercede this week for those who are in similar circumstances. But ESPECIALLY that they would be enabled, by the grace of God and the power of the Spirit, to give thanks in all circumstances, as Spurgeon has already admonished us. If we do what Hebrews 13:3 says, and put ourselves in their shoes, in their cells, “as bound with them”, we will quickly realize that this is more easily said than done. Hence, the need for us to pray! So listen to Wurmbrand’s words, and let’s join together in prayer this week for our suffering brothers and sisters around the world!

Standing Firm on a Shaky World -Rejoicing in Trials - 1Peter 4:12-19

November 11, 2025 . Rebekah Johnson

Today, on Karl and Crew, we discussed how, as Christ followers, there will be a time when we have to stand in the fire. As believers, there is no promise of a perfect life; we will endure hard times, but we are called to take joy in the midst of those trials. Dr. Sam Storms joined us to discuss embracing and rejoicing in suffering and persecution as a Christian. Dr. Storms is the founder and president of Enjoying God Ministries and serves on the Council of the Gospel Coalition. He is also the Executive Director of the Convergence Church Network. He has also authored several books, including “Understanding Spiritual Warfare: A Comprehensive Guide.” Then we had Peter Worrall join us to discuss persecution as a Christian and how he teaches this to his students. Peter is an Associate Professor of Educational Ministries at the Moody Bible Institute. He also wrote the book, “20 Things We’d Tell Our Twentysomething Selves.” We also turned to the phone lines to ask our listeners two questions: “What challenge in your life has God used to help you grow?” and “When have you experienced gospel opposition and how did God help you through it?” You can listen to the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast. If you're looking to listen to a particular segment from the show, look at the following time stamps: Peter Worral Interview [08:02] Call Segment 1 [28:02] Call Segment 2 [44:45] Dr. Sam Storms Interview [55:43] Karl and Crew airs live weekday mornings from 5-9 a.m. Central Time.

"Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality." Romans 12:9-13

Send us a textWould you think God's laws and instructions bring about rejoicing?  Why would God's laws and instructions bring about rejoicing?  On the podcast, Veronica begins discussing the section of Deuteronomy that lays out laws.  Worshiping God should not look like worship of false gods so God lays out how to worship Him.  These laws are meant to bless Israel and the people who come in contact with her. We discuss sacrificing, tithing, and slavery in this podcast. Our website is The Context and Color of the BibleWe are on Facebook - The Context and Color of the Bible | FacebookWe are on Instagram - @contextandcolorofthebibleWe are on YouTube - The Context and Color of the Bible - YouTubeMusic: Tabuk by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4453-tabukLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Whether we focus on the riches of the reward or the refining effects of suffering, God's purpose is that our joy in suffering be sustained.
