JOY

I want each one of you to be happy; but in sin nobody can be happy. Therefore, dear children, pray; and in prayer you will become conscious of a new way of joy. Joy will manifest itself in your hearts, and in this way you will be joyful witnesses of what my Son and I want from each one of you. (02/25/1987)
