The Gospels relate the joy of the disciples and the holy women when they saw Our Lord after his Resurrection. That joy can be ours too when we discover Our Lord in the ordinary circumstances of our life and we come to love him. In this meditation we use passages from the Scriptures, from Pope Francis’ Apostolic Exhortation “Rejoice and be glad” and from St Josemaria Escriva to discover how to find the joy we all seek. We consider how:

• Christ wants everyone to be happy
• We will be happy when we find Christ and come to love him
• We can be joyful even in the midst of sickness, worries and misfortunes
• Cheerfulness is attractive and draws others to God
