REFLECTION…
.
Jesus is always near us…and this fills us with happiness.
Unhappiness is when we lose Him,
when we put a distance between ourselves and the Lord our God
through our egoism, our sins, and our lukewarm attitude to our faith.
.
The Lord always brings joy…never affliction.
We shall be full of joy if our Lord is present in our life,
unless we have lost Him;
unless we have allowed our sight to be clouded by tepidity
or by a lack of generosity, mercy and compassion.
.
To find Christ, and to remain in His company,
is to possess a deep happiness which is new every day!
.
