Joy

Many of us, in a truly admirable way, place our faith at the center, and are quite disciplined. But can we also invite lighthearted elements into our spiritual practices?

Jesus wanted us to have joy, and often, laughter is a part of that. Yet it can be so elusive.

In a world often overshadowed by uncertainty and turmoil, the spirit of Franciscan optimism offers a beacon of hope—a reminder that even in the midst of life's challenges, there is reason to rejoice and find joy in the journey.

Joy is contagious—and it costs nothing to share it with those around us. Reach out to somebody in your inner circle who is struggling to find joy.
