"to transmit that joy"

"These things I have spoken to you,

that my joy may be in you,

and that your joy may be full."  

~John 15:11

“We proclaim Jesus Christ not to procure as many members as possible for our community, and still less in order to gain power... We speak of him because we feel the duty to transmit that joy which has been given to us.”  ~Pope Benedict XVI, 10/21/14
