It's been a long, full day. Sometimes we work and work and then stop and say: What am I doing all this for? I so often find my answer with Ani Di Franco: "I do it for the joy it brings, because I am a joyful girl." As a wife, a mother, a priest and a friend, I do it all for the joy it brings to me and to the ones God has given me to love.
I want to share with you a picture a friend sent me of the cross in the cathedral at Mainz, Germany. Jesus leaps like a dancer off the cross, rising with open arms. Our Lord took on the great work of the crucifixion, and he did it all for the joy it would bring this world.
