Gaudete Sunday
Be joyful, my soul, for there is someone who loves your God as He deserves. Be joyful, for there is someone who knows His goodness and value. Give thanks to Him, for He has given us on earth someone who thus knows Him as His only Son. Under this protection you can approach and petition Him for then His Majesty takes delight in you. Don’t let any earthly thing be enough to separate you from your delight, and rejoice in the grandeur of God; in how He deserves to be loved and praised; that He helps you to play some small role in the blessing of His name; and that you can truthfully say: ‘My soul magnifies the Lord’.
St Teresa of Avila
