Father Patrick Hyde joins Patrick to discuss Joy in Lent
(4:17) why do we talk about joy during Lent?
What is joy?
How important are circumstances in finding joy?
(17:18) Danny - I find it's becoming hard to find joy in lent. In today's age, you don't see it. You tell people it's Lent, and then it's like...and then what?

(21:36) Break 1
Susan - I've been going to daily Mass. Hoping to grow faith. I'm proud that I'm hauling myself out of bed every morning. Joy, getting closer to God...no. What more can I do?
(31:00) How do you find joy in Lent if it has been a real struggle?

(35:57) Break 2
Alfredo - I have found joy in the 7 charisms of the Holy spirit. Try to focus on that every day. Don't always get to all of them, but try. Enjoying Lent so far.
(42:10) Maryann - 84 years old. Having trouble finding Joy in Lent because of my inability to participate because I'm home bound.
(44:54) Annie - I had a pastor who made a point that joy and happiness are different. Happiness is fleeting...joy is forever...it's lasting. Jesus Others Yourself.
