Summary

En estas páginas, el Papa Francisco aborda uno de los temas más importantes de su mensaje: la alegría. Porque la verdadera dicha proviene de una esperanza que nada ni nadie puede arrebatarnos.
 
«Sonreír es acariciar con el corazón». La alegría es un tema central de las enseñanzas del papa Francisco, aún más necesario en estos tiempos que corren. En unas páginas que son un mensaje para todos los hombres y mujeres del mundo, el pontífice afirma que Dios es dicha y la misericordia es la manifestación más profunda de la felicidad de Dios y el núcleo del mensaje cristiano. Las palabras del papa Francisco son una invitación a abrazar la verdadera belleza; a abrirse, encontrarse y compartir; a cambiar actitudes personales y sociales que fomentan la exclusión; a desenmascarar el descontento que se produce cuando nos encerramos en nosotros mismos; y a afrontar la vida con valentía y confianza, sin dejarse vencer por la tristeza y el pesimismo.
 
Los ocho capítulos de este libro abarcan el tema de la felicidad de manera humana y profunda, conscientes de que la verdadera alegría no es un sentimiento efímero ni ilusorio ni un antídoto para quienes ignoran el sufrimiento: proviene de una esperanza concreta, que nada ni nadie nos podrá arrebatar. Es una alegría que tiene la última palabra, siempre. Y el deseo de compartir una sonrisa es el primer pequeño gran paso para vivirla, para renovarnos, para renacer.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In these pages, Pope Francis addresses one of the most important themes included in his message: Joy. Because true happiness comes from a hope that nothing and no one can take away from us.
 
"To smile is to caress with the heart." Joy is a central theme in Pope Francis' teachings, and it’s even more important in these times. In this book, he offers a message for all the men and women of the world. The Pontiff affirms that God is joy, and that mercy is the deepest manifestation of God's happiness as well as the core of the Christian doctrine. Pope Francis' words are an invitation to embrace true beauty; to open up, gather, and share; to change any personal and social attitudes that foster exclusion; to expose and get rid of the discontent that arises when we close ourselves off; and to face life with courage and confidence, without giving in to sadness and negativity.
 
The eight chapters in this book focus on happiness in a very human and profound way, aware that true joy is not a short-lived or unreal feeling, or a cure for those who don’t know suffering. Joy comes from real hope, one that nothing and no one can take away from us. It is a type of joy that always has the last word. And the desire to share a smile is the first small step to live it, to renew ourselves, to be reborn.
