Pope Notes Secret to Happiness
Says Following God's Call Never Brings Disappointment
A "yes" to God opens the font of happiness, says Benedict XVI.
Benedict XVI called on young people to imitate Mary's response when she was "invited to follow an amazing yet disconcerting journey. Her readiness led her to experience a joy of which all previous generations had sung."
