Finding happiness by emptying self in love

After returning from Calcutta, India, Father Barron talks about the lesson Calcutta has for the World. “We spend all of our time trying to find joy.  We think we’ll get it by filling up something that is lacking. We strive to fill up the emptiness with something from the outside like money, power, pleasure, esteem. But it is the exact opposite that achieves joy. You’re made happy by turning your own life into a gift, giving away what you have in love.”
