Prayer: "The Cup of Life" (Macrina Wiederkeher)
The most helpful discovery of today has been that right in the midst of my sorrows there is always room for joy. Joy and sorrow are sisters; they live in the same house.
This is so true and the joy that we can experience in the midst of sorrow is the joy of the Lord which gives us strength. How often this has been true in my life; in fact, this is a good reminder of what happened today.
Francis, the Bishop of Rome, is a big advocate that we can learn to be a people of joy - because the Resurrection makes all the difference in the world.
