Being a supernatural joy it can make everything we must do and need bear not just tolerable but pleasant, while making everything we do love, that more precious.Carlos Carrascohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16481652611499137516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833359394611156317.post-66588111503458437152015-03-11T11:52:47.974-04:002015-03-11T11:52:47.974-04:00I love it when I have sudden moments like that Car...I love it when I have sudden moments like that Caroline.<br /><br />Thank you both.Mannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15396201693030286919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833359394611156317.post-56880906530514041132015-03-10T20:41:48.926-04:002015-03-10T20:41:48.926-04:00Yes, this is beautiful. Such joy comes without us ...Yes, this is beautiful. Such joy comes without us looking for it, like the Angel came to Mary unbidden. At times it seems out of place. Once I was standing with my parents and friends at the burial of a man at our church, a man I'd known all my life, and as we stood together I was overwhelmed with joy. I could imagine the dead rising, imagine the resurrection, and even though we were grieving there was joy.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08112924098753896966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833359394611156317.post-37083895261998477112015-03-09T10:15:09.274-04:002015-03-09T10:15:09.274-04:00I have always been very touched by people, especia...I have always been very touched by people, especially religious, who radiate joy. I agree that the experience of God's joy is unlike any other. While we shouldn't primarily seek out feelings and consolations, he seems to freely give them.
