Gaudete Et Exsultate “Rejoice & Exult” (138431)

The document is arranged in five chapters: on the universal call to perfection of charity; on the heresies of Gnosticism and Pelagianism, described as “false forms of holiness”; on the Beatitudes as “worship most acceptable to God”; on five signs of holiness in the modern world (perseverance, patience, meekness, joy and a sense of humour, boldness and passionate commitment), and on life as constant spiritual combat against evil through the discernment of spirits.
