“Joy is the hallmark of the Christian.” Joining in saying the Joyful Mysteries in the unity that the podcast allows, helped me to focus on that wonderful concept of Joy. I had recently watched some anti-Christian postings that were disturbing but the response to revile and actual arrest for the display of the bible was one that was joyful. Joy acted like a miracle. My dismay and anger evaporated. Joining in the 4th mystery of this podcast then drew me deeper into the notion of Joy that Simeon and Anna experienced. That was a revelation for me – after all the years I have passed the beads over that decade. . “Surprised by Joy”! A wonder indeed.
