Fr. Longenecker on Lent, Laughter, and the Joyful Soul

"As we enter the solemn season of Lent it is worth stopping to remember that the saints say that we should keep a 'joyful Lent.' While we should take the state of our souls seriously, we needn't take ourselves so seriously . . ."

In a recent commentary, Father Dwight Longenecker (parish priest at Our Lady of the Rosary Parish, Greenville, SC) reflected on the importance of laughter in our lives and its role in helping us keep a "joyful Lent."
