“Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose warm and our intelligence aglow.”
~ Helen Keller

Prayer

God of goodness and joy,

Your son Jesus came to give us the blessing of joy and that, through him, our joy would be made complete. Joy is the light within each of us that shines even in times of adversity and strife. May our belief and trust in you enliven our hearts and minds to embrace the goodness of life and the people we encounter this day. May our openness to your presence in our lives fill us with the joy of living and a desire to share your joy with all those we meet.  We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
