What Is Joy?

Matthew Kelly, a world-renowned Catholic evangelist and New York Times best-selling author, explains joy brilliantly in his book, Slowing Down To The Speed Of Joy, as "A state that best facilitates human flourishing. It requires the human heart and mind to discern what is best for each season of life, for each day and week, and for each activity. It's deliberate, intentional, and diligent."

I got a glimpse of true joy in silence and in witnessing surrender alongside my mother in her cancer struggles. She showed her heart and led me closer to the heart of Jesus. My journey of faith continues, but I think I am now on the road to discovering the real speed of Joy. - Margaret Hofmann, Author of The Wedding Gift
