"There is a joy which is not given to the ungodly, but to those who love you, Lord,  for your own sake, whose joy you yoursef are. And this is the happy life, to rejoice in you, of you, for you; this it is, and there is no other." St. Agustine

This joy is the fruit of the Spirit, given to those wo love and serve the Lord. The psalmist said: "The joy of the Lord is my strength." Do you have this joy? As an alleluia people, we are not only to experience this joy,  but we are to witness and manifest this joy to others. When others ask us the reason our joy, we can tell them that it is Lord, who has made a difference in our life. "Rejoice in the Lord always," is to be our way of living.
