Series: Christian Joy
WM Special

Choose Life! Choose Joy!

Joy is a choice in response to God’s Spirit. Often it is a difficult choice. It is always a paschal choice. It is a choice for the light even when there is so much darkness. It is a choice for truth even in the midst of deceptions. However, I believe that once one chooses to claim the joys hidden in the midst of life’s vicissitudes, life itself becomes a celebration. Joy never denies sadness and suffering, but it transforms them into new opportunities for additional joy.

The Joyful Pope

Known as the “Good Pope John,” Blessed John XXIII became a beloved figure worldwide. He brought a whole new pastoral and personal style to the papacy. Joy and joviality, humor and happiness were characteristic of his personality.

Resourcement, Rediscovery and Revival

So long have we been compliant backseat riders that it’s like lifting a 300-lb heavyweight to the front seat just to be a co-navigator. In this equation of lay empowerment, is the clergy disposed to give or let go of certain practices and prerogatives? And is the laity disposed to receive and take on certain rights and duties? These are some of the questions.

Bridgehead to the Heart of Darkness

Poverty is Africa’s most serious sickness: 10 million children die every year because of easily curable diseases and 500,000 women still die in giving birth. Sixty years ago, inspired by their Christian faith, a group of health workers from the local Church of Padua, Italy, entered into this essentially unjust and immoral situation, bringing healing and hope. Since then 1,200 doctors, 250 nurses and other medical personnel have reached the heart of Africa. The CUAMM-Doctors with Africa is a unique, exemplary realization that honors the creativity and voluntary commitment of people of goodwill.

The Last Word

What to Give to Caesar, What to God?

“Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.” How should we, as Christians, understand this guideline and live up to it? What is it that goes to Caesar if we have to give to God what is His, i.e., everything?
­– Dario Bertacchini, Milan
