The teaching of the Church speaks of the attitude of joy resulting from the redemption, but the literature on joy is not rich. In theological studies the concept of joy is associated with various God’s actions, which a person can take on such an attitude. The elaboration of the described subject was based on the teaching of Pope Paul VI in the apostolic exhortation „Gaudete in Domino” addressed to bishops, priests and faithful of the entire Catholic world about Christian joy in 1975, the richest and most complete expression of the Church on joy. Also in the teaching and statements of successive popes (St. John Paul II, Benedict XVI, Francis), for whom also the concept of joy and the Christian attitude of joy is a testimony of faith and trust in God. It is the direct and unadulterated Gospel, „Joyful News”, the evangelization of life immersed in God. The successors of apostle Peter, disciple of Jesus, the propagator of joy flowing from the personal meeting of Jesus. A witness to his life, miracles. He who betrayed and whom he was forgiven. Who, unflinchingly, in the power of the Holy Spirit, preaches the teaching of Jesus Christ. Church shepherds show the essence of Christian joy based on faith, hope and love, which source is God. They show the biblical dimension of the joy, its manifestations in the history of the Chosen People, in the life of Jesus, the original Church, Mary and saints. They do not cease to show the practical implementation of Christian joy in the life of every human being, seeking to develop indications for the moral life of Christians by listening to the word of God, meeting God in the sacraments and doing good.
