The Joy of Being Catholic

As Pope Francis says, “The Church is not a refuge for sad people. The Church is a house of joy.” Author Kathy Coffey offers some key reasons for our Catholic joy. A fitting resource for the Easter season or any time of the year, this Update shines a spotlight on Catholicism’s perspective on being human in relationship with our God, who loves all he creates. Coffey writes, “Our belief in the resurrection affects every moment on this side of eternity. Easter is woven like a hopeful gold thread through all our experiences.”
