1. Because you get to go to Heaven and be with the Most Holy and Ever-Blessed Trinity!!!
2. The Sacraments, especially Holy Eucharist because Jesus Christ gives Himself to us whole and entire and lets us share in His divinity! Also the history of the Church and our beautiful churches and ceremonies, especially our Liturgy, both Eastern and Western
3. Music, my family, my friends, my iPhone, beauty in nature, roller coasters, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Quebec, French, Popeyes, opera, and the list goes on, but God gave all those things

So you like Justin Bieber, and you make a distinction between music and opera!

Hmph!

It’s the only religious where Goodness, Truth and Beauty are not only respected but seen as vital in our journey.

Christ is THE Messiah.

1. What aspect of your church brings you joy?

It’s depth of teaching.
It’s gifts to the world.
It’s art, architecture and music.
It’s preferential option for the poor.

1. What brings you joy besides God and/or Christian aspects of your life?

My wife and kids
My home
Motorbikes
Hiking and walking in the wilderness around me.

I won’t judge you. I loved Donny Osmond when I was 13.

The Church belongs to you!

1.To know that the place God has promised us in the after life is a great reason to be Christian.
To know that God loves us so much that he gave his only begotten son to die for us is a great reason to be Christian.
To know that any one who chooses to accept Jesus is a great reason to be Christian.

2.Every aspect of Church brings me joy. I love many types of music. I listen to many different genres and although they all have good music, there is something about church music that gets to me. Whether its hymns, liturgical music, or even the church band music it is all good. I think that the reason it sounds so good is because it is praising and giving glory to God which makes this music divine. It is better than any worldly music. Other than music just learning about God in church gives me joy. I think theology is a great thing to learn. Learning about the bible, theological works, and just anything related to the divinity of God and Jesus brings me joy. Every other aspect of church brings me joy as well.

I don’t think I really get joy from other things than God and or Christian aspects of life.

Ok. I will take this poll as well.

1. I like answers! Answers to question about meaning of life. Answers to questions like what happens after death and how we choose the different paths that lead to to different after lives. Also I like the eternal knowledge the word of God gives us, it answers all life ethical questions. I like the meaningful purpose Christian life gives me, as a father and a brother.
2. Mass brings me joy. I anticipate the Holy Eucharistic meal with Jesus every Sunday and it brings me joy! I find joy in reconciliation… Only after I’m done! Lol. I enjoy adding to bible studies. I enjoy fellowship at church picnics and gatherings.
3. My children and loving wife bring me joy. I find much happiness at Sunday dinner with my brothers and sisters and mom and dad. I like playing sports. I enjoy nature and the weather, like snow storms and thunder storms and beautiful views. I enjoy reading.

The reason I posted this poll, in case anybody was wondering, was for the purpose of evangelism. So thank you to all who answered.
