"Rejoice!" Paul didn't say, "Be happy!" No, he said, "Rejoice! Again I say, 'rejoice!'" As we look at the last 10 days of Advent, we turn our minds from the penitential affect of the season to the joyful. Joy is a foundational virtue of a Christians' life. It reminds us that despite any unfortunate event in this life, there is a better result waiting for us: the Resurrection and eternal life! So whenever life gets a little drear, remember that there's always a light shinning for us. And his name is Jesus!
We'd like to also welcome back Fr. John Haugen! He has been recovering from a heart attack over the last few weeks. Although he's not back to full strength yet and he likely won't be featured on this podcast every week for a little while, we're glad to have him whenever we can!
