La Joie <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cher jeune,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Comme tu as pu souvent le constater, la joie humaine est loin d\u2019\u00eatre un sentiment permanent, mais en vivant en chr\u00e9tien, on peut atteindre une joie constante m\u00eame au milieu des \u00e9preuves. En effet, la joie chr\u00e9tienne ne consiste pas \u00e0 aller bien tout le temps, ni \u00e0 cacher ce qui fait mal. Elle se construit dans la r\u00e9alit\u00e9, avec ses \u00e9preuves, ses doutes et ses combats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cette joie n\u2019est donc pas d\u2019abord li\u00e9e aux circonstances ext\u00e9rieures, mais na\u00eet plus profond\u00e9ment, dans l\u2019intime de l\u2019\u00e2me, c\u2019est pourquoi elle peut subsister m\u00eame lorsque tout semble difficile autour de nous \u00ab La joie int\u00e9rieure r\u00e9side au plus intime de l\u2019\u00e2me ; on peut aussi bien la poss\u00e9der dans une obscure prison que dans un palais. \u00bb<\/em> \u00e9crivait sainte Th\u00e9r\u00e8se. La vraie joie ne d\u00e9pend pas de ce que tu poss\u00e8des, mais de l\u2019amour de Dieu que tu laisses entrer en toi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Un premier conseil est d\u2019accepter les \u00e9preuves que J\u00e9sus te donne ; elles sont gages de tes capacit\u00e9s, Dieu te donnera toujours le moyen de r\u00e9ussir \u00e0 les vaincre. Mais tu y arriveras toujours par la joie, en acceptant les difficult\u00e9s et en refusant de c\u00e9der \u00e0 la tristesse et au d\u00e9couragement. Refuser ses fragilit\u00e9s ou se comparer aux autres enl\u00e8ve plus de joie que n\u2019importe quelle difficult\u00e9. Avancer honn\u00eatement, sans jouer un r\u00f4le, est une preuve d\u2019humilit\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Il ne s\u2019agit pas d\u2019un h\u00e9ro\u00efsme spectaculaire, ni d\u2019une perfection inaccessible. La joie chr\u00e9tienne se vit dans la fid\u00e9lit\u00e9 simple, dans le choix quotidien de faire le bien, de suivre fid\u00e8lement son devoir d\u2019\u00e9tat \u00ab Rien ne rend l\u2019homme aussi grand que de garder les commandements de Dieu avec joie \u00bb,<\/em> rappelait saint Jean Chrysostome. La grandeur v\u00e9ritable ne se mesure pas aux exploits visibles, mais \u00e0 la fid\u00e9lit\u00e9 silencieuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ensuite, garde un lien r\u00e9gulier avec Notre-Seigneur. Ni forc\u00e9ment long, ni trop compliqu\u00e9 : une pri\u00e8re simple, un moment de silence et d\u2019adoration int\u00e9rieure, la lecture de l\u2019Ecriture Sainte. La joie grandit quand la foi devient concr\u00e8te et v\u00e9cue, pas seulement th\u00e9orique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Il est aussi important de ne pas rester seul. La joie se nourrit des vraies relations : l\u2019amiti\u00e9 et le don de soi. Donner de son temps et de son attention, aussi dans les choses tr\u00e8s simples, aide souvent \u00e0 sortir de soi et \u00e0 retrouver de l\u2019\u00e9lan. La joie devient alors contagieuse, Saint Jean Bosco le rappelait avec simplicit\u00e9 : \u00ab Essaie de te faire aimer, en t\u00e9moignant aux autres de la gentillesse, en leur apportant de la joie ; tu leur montreras un peu de l\u2019amour que Dieu leur porte. \u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n La joie est \u00e0 la fois un acte de foi, d\u2019esp\u00e9rance et de charit\u00e9 renouvel\u00e9 chaque jour. Garde toujours ta joie et ta confiance, fais la dominer toutes tes actions m\u00eames les plus simples, ainsi tu rayonneras dans l\u2019\u00e9ternit\u00e9 !<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udd8a\ufe0f

Comme le r\u00e9sumait saint Augustin : \u00ab B\u00e9nis Dieu dans les peines comme dans les joies, et tu verras que tout concourt \u00e0 ton bien. \u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
