Unshakeable Joy in Christ– John 15:22 | Heavenly Manna – Holy Fifty – Week 6 – Day 1
Gospel Reading: John 16:15–23
Focus Verse: “Your joy no one will take from you.” (John 16:22)
Meditation
Jesus, our true source of lasting joy, surpasses the fleeting pleasures of this world. When sorrow gives way to His grace, our hearts are filled with His unshakeable joy—a gift that no one can ever take away.
Early Church Fathers’ Saying
“But when our sadness shall be turned into joy, the Lord Himself declares, ‘I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice; and your joy no one shall take from you.’”
– Cyprian of Carthage
Practical Practice
During the fifty days, embrace the joy of repentance. Like St. Peter, approach the Lord with humility; trust in His mercy, and hear Him say, “You are Peter, you are forgiven, and on this rock I will build My Church.”
