The piece emphasizes faith as the decisive source of joy, especially for those suffering, and frames Mary’s role as teaching and sustaining believers’ trust through darkness, consolation, and

joy.It is a title especially appropriate for Christians,and particularly suitable for an issue marking the close of theMarian year;for it is a title that says to us:\"Mary gave us Christ;Mary brought forth the Son of God.\"It expresses in a simplephrase her dignity,her mission,and our reaction to it.Cause ofour joy!We acknowledge our debt to her.She is our link witheternal joy;for in Bethlehem she gave us God and now gives usto God.  \nCause of our joy!—always,but especially so at Christmastime.For Christmas is the feast above all that swoops up all hu-man joy—the joy of the family,the joy of the home,the sweetpleasure of well-remembered friends,the hidden happinesses oflife,the big ones,and the little trifling ones that we mention hesi-tantly in shame-faced sentimentality.Christmas swoops up allthese human joys and sanctifies them in one Joy:Christ.Godmade man—rejoice!  And Mary is mistress of the feast.Shemothers the Church in this season as she mothered Christ when shebrought Him forth.She cares for us,she treasures us,as she caredfor Him;for we are the Church,indeed we are her Christ—herChrist continuing His life through the ages.  \nCause of our joy!A title that can be easily misinterpretedor interpreted in a superficial way.Joy at Christmas can be quiteemotional.One's spiritual inebriation—helped on by good foodand cheer and nice presents-—can be eminently satisfying.Thisisn't heaven yet,one knows.But it is a comfortable place to be in,especially at Christmas time.So feels the contented Christian.  \nBut sorrows do not end at Christmas,and Mary is Cause ofour joy not only for those who are carefree but also for those whoknow bitter woe.And Christmas is the time which not only etcheshappiness more sharply but also cuts sorrow more deeply into theheart.The young expectant mother whose husband died twomonths ago,the old expellee who knows he will never see hisnative village again,the aged woman who has survived all her  \nfamily,the man who has lost his job,the girl who looks in vainfor love—Christmas increases their sorrows.Somehow or otherit is a poignant reminder not only of the joys they have known,but also of the infinite joy for which they long.  \nWhat help is Mary to them.For them what meaning hasher title,Cause of our joy?Very little if by it they envisage aready glow of happiness,or even the felt realization of her pres-ence,her comfort.To some of course she does give that.Therecan be the consoling thrill of her love,her strength come out tohelp their weakness,to conquer their sorrow.But whether shegives this evident aid does not matter.  \nFor Our Lady is Cause of our joy because she is Our Lady offaith.Christmas is the feast of faith,and what Mary has to teachus is a lesson of faith.\"Believe this is Christ,\"she says.\"Believethis is God,a Baby born in a manger.Believe this is your Savior,believe in His mercy,believe in His love.Believe that He dies tosave you,believe that He longs to make you happy in heaven.Believe...  \n\"Believe.Look at me and see not only the value of faithbut th","cbCaivs5SxYNbcHa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivs5SxYNbcHa","pdf",2110032,52,"English","# THE HoLY SPIRIT AND MARY\n## THE faces of the sick at Lourdes\n## Mary—Cause of our joy in the darkness of faith\n# Cause of our joy","[{\"question\":\"What does the editorial say “Cause of our joy” means as a title for Mary?\",\"answer\":\"It presents the title as expressing Mary’s dignity, mission, and believers’ response: Mary “gave us Christ” and thus brings divine joy through God made man.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the editorial relate Christmas joy to sorrow?\",\"answer\":\"It states that Christmas heightens human happiness but also cuts sorrow more deeply, reminding people of both past joys and the infinite joy they long for.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is Mary described as the cause of joy specifically through faith?\",\"answer\":\"Because Christmas is called the feast of faith, and Mary teaches believers to “believe,” supporting them so their faith is not lost even amid darkness and suffering.\"}]","Cause of our joy | PDF",1790664326,131]
