HTML:A collection of homilies, speeches, and “messages of the day” that brings together Pope Francis’s wisdom on finding happiness in the here and now For Pope Francis, the appreciation of our everyday lives is a spiritual undertaking. Joy is a divine attribute, and creating joy around us an essential part of faith. Every homily and speech in this book delivers, in warm, engaging language accessible to believers and nonbelievers alike, a key lesson, instructing readers on finding love and happiness in a chaotic world. Along the way, Pope Francis discusses the sanctity of women’s rights, talks about how the love of sports can bring out our best qualities, and explains why fighting discrimination is the essence of loving thy neighbor. He shares personal stories and anecdotes from his life, provides comforting messages of hope, and discusses the ways flawed families can make you a better person. The core ideas of Francis’s papacy—mercy, support for marginalized people, and diplomacy—shine through. Praise for Happines in This Life “Though the title of the book mentions happiness, this collection of thoughts addresses something much deeper—joy. Bringing together excerpts from Pope Francis’s sermons, speeches, prayers, and addresses, these pieces address a range of themes, from mercy and humility to simplicity and family. . . . Readers will be encouraged to clear away the cacophony of modern society and embrace the simplicity of joy. A book as loving and encouraging as the man himself seems to be.”—Booklist “With this wide-ranging collection of writings, homilies, and addresses, the current pontiff dispels any notion that religious practice is dour and antiquated. . . . It brings together the pope’s most affecting passages to inspire Catholics (and those of other faiths) to lift up those around them.”—Publishers Weekly “Reminiscent of the gentle encouragement of the Dalai Lama . . . Family-centered and practical—especially on difficult matters of familial contention—these homilies are, on the whole, gentle encouragements to do the right thing. . . . [This] collection offers clear insight into the pope’s doctrinal concerns.”—Kirkus Reviews. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

How can we enact the joy of the Gospel in our daily lives?
We can as individuals enact the joy of the Gospel in our daily lives by being our authentic selves and living life according to our own morals and values. Living life according to our own joys and happinesses. Following the Beatitudes and spreading love and joy wherever we go.
Speaking the Word of God over our lives and over the lives of our families and friends and sending verses to encourage and strengthen those in times of need, grief, or pain at the right moment when they need it the most. For me it means reaching out to my loved ones with a verse that I feel would help them in their daily life that God inspired me to share. I do not know what they are going through personally-and I do not care to know either-but doing that daily makes my day and brings me joy because it allows me to send a morsel of wisdom in their time of need when they need it the most. Or a bolt of inspiration when they are seeking an answer to a problem they are having. Or a word of encouragement when they are struggling to come to terms with something difficult. Helping them that way keeps me involved as their relative but set apart and distanced enough to give them the space they need to sort out their issues themselves and to resolve it in their own style and way and privately without making it known to other family members. There is trust between the three of us as siblings and we know that we can rely on each other in time of need. The Scriptures I send strengthens our bonds with each other and gives at least one of them comfort and joy and thankfulness. So my verses are helping in a marvelous way. Just as I prayed they would. And God will bless my siblings with favor and love and peace one day.
Is Christian hope possible, here and now?
Yes it is. Always. Hope in Jesus the Messiah that died for our sins and forgave us for our errors and gave us a new life in Him so that we can live a new life eternal full of hope, restoration and salvation because we all are a living testimony that God restores us uniquely in His own way. (
