Yet, for the one who follows Jesus as Lord and Savior, joy is part of the inheritance that God has bequeathed to us. If we Catholics really embraced this truth, and actively prayed for the joy of the Spirit, I believe that our Sunday worship would have a different look. As important, the rest of our week could begin to manifest that joy in our day to day living. If they do, then the Holy Father's words could inspire us to be more effective witnesses to the Resurrection. Lent is over.
Easter is here.
It's time to rejoice from our hearts.
