Luke 17:11-19
“From somber, serious, sullen saints, save us, O Lord. Lord, hear our prayers.”~ St. Teresa of Avila (1582)
“I could not be interested in any man’s religion if his knowledge of God did not bring him more joy, did not brighten his life, did not make him want to carry this joy into every dark corner of the world. I have no understanding of a long-faced Christian. If God is anything, he must be Joy!” ~ Comedian, Joe E. Brown
“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine; but a broken spirit drieth the bones.” ~ Proverbs 17:22
