Today in children's liturgy we sang and danced for joy. We lit our third candle and talked about the joy of having Jesus with us. When John the Baptist first 'met' Jesus, he was still in his mother's womb, we read how John jumped for joy (Luke 1:44). This Sunday is known as Gaudete (meaning joy). John the Baptist who told the disciples that someone greater than he was coming. For a colouring of John Baptist, click here.
