What is the central fact in your life?

 The following quote from Mother Stuart has made me ponder. I hope it helps you, too.

"May God's presence be ever your living joy and the central fact in your life, from which will flow patience, calmness, and unquenchable joy; with that in your soul you can meet anything."

I pray that I realize that God's presence in the central fact in your life and that it fills me with joy even in the midst of the problems of our world. Mother Stuart had an enormous sense of joy. I believe that joy is essential for all members of the Society of the Sacred Heart and for the entire family of the Sacred Heart. We need to trust God and serve Him in joy!
