It is a comely fashion to be glad,—
Joy is the grace we say to God.

Glad and joyous and sweet is the Blissful lovely Cheer of our Lord to our souls.

When God laughs at the soul and the soul laughs back at God, the persons of the Trinity are begotten. When the Father laughs at the Son and the Son laughs back at the Father, that laughter gives pleasure, that pleasure gives joy, that joy gives love, and that love is the Holy Spirit.

Joy is the grace we say to God.

To smile at God.

Laughter is the closest thing to the grace of God.

If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.

On the laugh of a child I am borne to the joy of the King.

Be cheerful while you are alive.

There is hope for the future because God has a sense of humor and we are funny to God.

Humor is a prelude to faith, and laughter is the beginning of prayer.

The greatest joy of a Christian is to give joy to Christ.

Laughter keeps everyone feeling wonderful.

I find joy in the celebration of Mass. Joy in sharing the Word of Life and the Bread of Life. There is joy in my heart when I witness the love united in marriage, and in pouring saving waters on the heads of little ones. My joy is in conveying to sinners God's forgiveness and in praying with the dying as they prepare to meet their Lord and Savior.
