Joy

"The last word is 'Joy!'" (Fr. Jake Randall, Notre Dame, early 80s).

"And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness." ~ Ps. 104:43.

“Do not be afraid. Listen, I bring news of great joy a joy to be shared by the whole people. Today, in the town of David a savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:10-11).

“All who would win joy,” George Gordon Lord Byron once remarked, “must share it; happiness was born a twin.”
