“The joyous man is the strong man—ready to
sympathize: to appreciate: to help: a comfort and a light to others. Into a
world where there is a surplus of sadness, of despondency and of despair, he
brings something of the power and presence of God that in turn warm and cheer
the hearts of men. Joy is the power and presence of God—the interior sense that
we live in Him.” —Attributed to Monsignor John J. Burke, C.S.P. (1875-1936)

McNamara for suggesting the quote.)
