At laughter therapy workshops people laugh until they cry, and many of them are one step from depression. This paradox opens a reflection on 1 Peter, a letter written to Christians who truly had nothing to laugh about. The sermon distinguishes a forced smile from Christian joy, the certainty of who I am, where I am going, and who is leading me, visible, for instance, in the life of Father Jan Kaczkowski. Listen and learn how to be an optimist in unoptimistic circumstances.
Joy
There Is Power
Everyone would like to be able to love more deeply, enjoy life more fully, live more peacefully, and show more patience, kindness, and self-control. That’s a better way to live, because character matters more than abilities. Such a life is also possible thanks to the work of the Holy Spirit, who transforms us from within in a way that is visible on the outside. THERE IS POWER to change!
