The Joy of Living

God made us for joy. God is joy, and the joy of living reflects the original joy that God felt in creating us.” St. Pope John Paul II

I feel much joy in this beautiful season of summer. Joy is the light within the heart which burns brightly and bursts forth like fourth of July fireworks. Joy brings that which must be felt to the surface and illuminates all those around it.

Joy takes one by the hand and leads them to experience increased faith, much hope and true love, it points to the Lord. It is a beautiful dance between a soul and God, where God leads and the soul follows, a most intimate moment of surrender. It is a place where joy endures and remains with us always.

Joy with peace, is the sister of charity. Serve the Lord with laughter. St. Padre Pio

    Thank you Vikki

    I really needed to be reminded how God made us for joy. I forget sometimes. Thank you again.
