I've always like Pope Benedict's quote:

where joylessness reigns, where humor dies, the spirit of Jesus Christ is surely absent. But the reverse is also true: joy is a sign of Grace. One who is cheerful from the bottom of his heart, one who has suffered but not lost joy, cannot be far from the God of the evangelieum, whose first word on the threshold of the New Testament is "Rejoice!"
