Further thoughts on Perfect Joy

What really is perfect joy?  Is St Francis saying we need to accept injustice?  I don't think so Francis fought injustice. His day.  I think it is more an attitude.  We should accept the gifts given to us by God without getting puffed up with pride.  God gives us our intelligence and our talents.  God works through us to do great things in the world.  All we can glory in is our willingness to do what God calls on us to do.  God will shape us into the tool He needs by our experiences, so we should accept those experiences gladly and be joyful in being chosen.
