‘The Church’s vocation is to bring joy to the world. A joy that is authentic and enduring. The joy proclaimed by the angels to the shepherds on the night Jesus was born.’ — Pope Benedict XVI
The Holy Father said on the Third Sunday of Advent: ‘The Christian is joyful in heart, even in trials; he is joyful because he is close to Jesus: It is he who gives us joy.’
Francis at Mass says that ‘there is no Christian joy when others are made to feel unwanted’ — adding that care of others should follow Mary’s example.
‘The joy of crossing the Gate of Mercy is accompanied by a commitment to welcome and give witness to a love that goes beyond justice, a love that knows no boundaries,’ Francis said Dec. 13.
