Work and Recreation Handmaid style
“So the joy I am preaching to you…is the ideal of living so much in love with Jesus Christ that when He crucifies you, you will be happy! To do this, you have to make good that definition of joy:
Jesus Only You…….When you have real spiritual joy, God is supreme in your life and nothing else matters. That is why I say, aim and pray and work to rejoice always, because when that joy is truly supernatural, Christ is supreme in your life and your heaven has already begun.”
– Father Gerald Fitzgerald, s.P.
