Pope: Sad Christian faces are like pickled peppers!

"Sometimes these melancholic Christians' faces have more in common with pickled peppers than the joy of having a beautiful life,"…

…"Joy is something that does not come from short term economic reasons, from momentary reasons, it is something deeper, it is a gift,"

The pontiff described joy as "a gift from God" that "fills us from within" and "cannot be held at heel, it must be let go."

"It is a virtue of the great, of those great ones who rise above the little things in life, above human pettiness,"

He explained that it is a virtue "of those who will not allow themselves to be dragged into those little things within the community, within the Church" and that "they always look to the horizon."
