Spiritual Joy Proceeds From Purity Of Heart

High School Youth Conference at the Franciscan University of Steubenville

Francis declared that if the servant of God strove to possess and preserve interior and external spiritual joy, which proceeds from purity of heart, the devils could do him no harm, but would be forced to admit: "Since this servant of God preserves his joy in tribulation as well as in prosperity, we can find no way to harm his soul."
