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."
“ [...] May those among you who feel the call to follow him in the priesthood or in consecrated life -- [...] reply to the Lord's call and put yourselves totally at the service of the Church, with a life completely dedicated to the Kingdom of heaven. You will never be disappointed."
