Humour and joy through faith
"A heart filled with God is a happy heart that radiates and spreads its joy throughout its surroundings - it is immediately visible! »
"My son, when you can, don't deprive yourself of a happy day. "This sentence from the Sirach is one of the most appreciated biblical quotations of Pope Francis, who never ceases to invite happiness in all circumstances.
In the face of difficult situations, suffering and criticism, he encourages us to lightness, self-mockery and even humour - traits that make us authentic and wise beings.
Pope Francis warns against the "sinister facial disease" that strikes us when we look dark and treat others harshly. On the contrary, faith must be a celebration, a constant joy that frees us from the torments of daily life and makes us open to others.
