When her nuns would fall into dolors, Saint Teresa of Avila was known to bring out the castanets and encourage dancing. It seems like another way to teach her famous prayer, "Let nothing disturb you; let nothing frighten you..." Your book seems like a practical handbook for living that prayer: how do laughter and trust work together?
Laughter means that you trust that all will work out well, as St. Teresa said. And that even if it doesn't seem to be at the time, you can trust in the God who accompanies you.
Thank you, Father Martin, for taking the time to chat with us on a book that is not only a great bit of entertainment, but wise and helpful encouragement, as well.
My pleasure—and joy!
