Homily from the First Sunday of Advent. Joy can be a feeling, but it is also a choice. God desires your happiness. But this happiness is more than mere pleasure and more than mere emotion. True joy, like true love, is a decision. Joy is the sense of well-being that is the result of the certain expectation or possession of one’s heart’s desire.
