Cry out with joy

In the midst of trials we are lucky as Catholics to be called to be part of the Pascal Mystery at Mass on Sunday. We should be happy about this, feel liberated, praising and thanking God as we enter into Jesus Christ’s suffering, death and Resurrection with great joy. Silent joy keeps fear at bay and fosters gratitude for the utter truth of the Resurrection; Jesus Christ truly present amongst us. Do I ever think about this?
