Day 8: Joy of the Holy Spirit (fruit of the Holy Spirit)

Luke 11:47-49 My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.

“Joy is prayer–Joy is strength–Joy is love–Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls…. A joyful heart is the inevitable result of a heart burning with love. Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you forget the joy of the Christ risen.” – SAINT MOTHER TERESA OF CALCUTTA

Mother Mary rejoiced by magnifying the Lord. Did I magnify the Lord today? How big is my God? Is my God bigger than my problems or are my problems bigger than my God? Did I magnify my problems and feel down?

Prayer: Father, help me to remember that you are always at my side. Help me to see you in the midst of my storms. Help me to magnify You more and more, the bigger my problems are, the more I magnify You.
