Philippians 1:4
Douay-Rheims
Always in all my prayers making supplication for you all, with joy;
John Chrysostom
"Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request also with joy."
"Always," not only while I am praying. "With joy." For it is possible to do this with grief too, as when he says elsewhere, "For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears."
