"Joy is Strength" - Mother Teresa
"If a thing is free to be good it is also free to be bad. And free will is what has made evil possible. Why, then, did God give them free will? Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having.". - C.S. Lewis
“If we wish to serve God and love our neighbor well, we must manifest our joy in the service we render to Him and them. Let us open wide our hearts. It is joy which invites us. Press forward and fear nothing.” - St. Katharine Drexel
“You ask me whether I am in good spirits. How could I not be so? As long as faith gives me strength, I will always be joyful.” - Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati
"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
“Joy, with peace, is the sister of charity. Serve the Lord with laughter.” - St. Padre Pio
"There is a joy which is not given to the ungodly, but to those who love Thee for Thine own sake, whose joy Thou Thyself art. And this is the happy life, to rejoice to Thee, of Thee, for Thee; this it is, and there is no other." - St. Augustine
"There is a joy which is not given to the ungodly, but to those who love Thee for Thine own sake, whose joy Thou Thyself art. And this is the happy life, to rejoice to Thee, of Thee, for Thee; this it is, and there is no other." - St. Augustine
Pax et bonum
