Where there is no pain there is no salvation.
The Holy Spirit fills everything he touches with joy.
When the Holy Spirit descends upon man with the fullness of his gifts, the human soul is filled with indescribable joy; the Holy Spirit recreates in joy everything he touches.
Holy Spirit reminds us of the words of Christ and works with Him, guiding our steps solemnly and joyfully in the path of peace.

As for prayer, nothing prevents it: everyone has the opportunity to pray, the rich and the poor, the wealthy and the destitute, the strong and the weak, the healthy and the sick, the virtuous and the sinner.
Acquiring the Spirit of God is therefore the true end of our Christian life to the point that prayer, vigils, fasting, almsgiving and other virtuous actions done in the Name of Christ are but means to this end.
