Sorrow Will Turn to Joy – Holy Fifty Days – Week 6, Day 6
Gospel Reading: John 16:15–23
Focus Verse: “Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament” (John 16:20, NKJV)
Meditation
Christ does not hide the pain—He promises it. Yet He anchors us with a deeper truth: sorrow, endured in Him, is not the end. It becomes joy. A joy no one can take away.
Early Church Fathers’ Saying
“You shall mourn and lament… but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. For I shall live again, and will wholly remove the cause of your despondency.”
– St. Cyril of Alexandria
Practical Practice
When the heart turns repetition into worship, the ordinary becomes holy. Make your morning coffee a prayer. Turn your commute into a hymn. Let your daily tasks become your altar— then sorrow will turn into joy.
