Description
Summary:The article discusses the Gospel to be read on September 27 and taken from the Book of James 5:13. This reading relates to Christians' idea of enjoyment. The author observes that most of the great works of Christian spirituality focus on spiritual athleticism and mortification and abstinence, and not on being cheerful. He thinks that the busyness distances man from the joy that comes from loving God and doing nothing else.
