Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls. A joyful heart is the inevitable result of a heart burning with love
Joy is prayer; joy is strength: joy is love; joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.
Keep the joy of loving God in your heart and share this joy with all you meet especially your family. Be holy let us pray.
Where there is love, there is joy.
Lord give me this seeing faith, then my work will never be monotonous. I will find joy in humoring the fancies and gratifying the wishes of all poor sufferers. O beloved sick, how doubly dear you are to me, when you personify Christ; and what a privilege is mine to be allowed to tend you.
Suffering, if it is accepted together, borne together, is joy.
Joy is the characteristic by which God uses us to re-make the distressing into the desired, the discarded into the creative. Joy is prayer-Joy is strength-Joy is love-Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.
Let anyone who comes to you go away feeling better and happier. Everyone should see goodness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile. Joy shows from the eyes. It appears when we speak and walk. It cannot be kept closed inside us. It reacts outside. Joy is very infectious.
No matter how tired you are, no matter how physically exhausting this work may be, it's beautiful to bring a smile into someone's life, to care for someone in need. What greater joy can there be?
A joyful heart is the normal result of a heart burning with love. She gives most who gives with joy.
One thing that I ask of you: Never be afraid of giving. There is a deep joy in giving, since what we receive is much more than what we give.
Joy is very infectious; therefore, be always full of joy!
Joy is a sign of generosity. When you are full of joy, you move faster and you want to go about doing good to everyone.
Do not let the past disturb you, just leave everything in the Sacred Heart and begin again with joy.
