For Moments of Joy and Thanksgiving
"Make your life a great song of love and praise!"
"What is holiness if not the joyous experience of God’s
love and meeting him in prayer?"
"I also ask you to be ‘prophets of joy’: the world
must recognize us by our ability to communicate to our peers the
sign of a great hope which has already been fulfilled: Jesus, who
for our sake died and rose again. Do not forget that ‘the
future of humanity is in the hands of those men who are capable
of providing the generations to come with reasons for life and optimism’
(Gaudium et spes, n. 31)."
"Being holy means living in deep communion with the God of
joy, having a heart free from sin and the sadness of the world,
and a mind that is humble before him."
"God made us for joy. God is joy, and the joy of living reflects
the original joy that God felt in creating us."
"Our God is the God of joy!"
