Animating The Heart
With Joy, Praise, and Gratitude
| The pursuit of happiness seems so compelling
yet so elusive in our day. There
are so many
promises of happiness in the
media. Can pleasures,
possessions, experiences, or
relationships
truly bring lasting joy? What
are happiness,
fulfillment and joy in the context
of the
Christian life? This series of
meditations
seeks to explore this theme,
drawing inspiration
from Scripture and the writings
of the Saints.
In considering these reflections, may you find the light of grace to discover the fullness of joy and hope in the Spirit of Christ Jesus. "A joyful heart is life itself; rejoicing lengthens one's life span." (Ecclesiasticus 30.22) |
