Homily from the Second Sunday of Advent.The joy that can thrive in any environment.Christian joy is more than a feeling. It is the sense of well-being that is the fruit of something else. It is the fruit of a life lived in God. A life “lived in God” is eminently practical; it simply involves the honest prayer, “Father, Thy will be done." If a person lives this prayer in every environment, one can experience the joy that thrives in any environment.Mass Readings from December 4, 2016:Isaiah 11:1-10Psalm 72:1-2, 7-8, 12-13, 17Romans 15:4-9Matthew 3:1-12TO DOWNLOAD THE BIBLE STUDY TAP ON THIS LINK OR COPY THE FOLLOWING LINK IN YOUR INTERNET BROWSER (Chrome, Firefox, Safari):http://bulldogcatholic.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Joy-to-the-World-AntiFragile-Joy.pdf
