On Joy

Joy is not something one can define or analyze. One enters into joy. "Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord" (Mt. 25:21). And we have no other means of entering into that joy, no way of understanding it, except through the one action which from the beginning has been for the Church both the source and the fulfillment of joy, the very sacrament of joy, the Eucharist.
