Saints can laugh in the face of martyrdom. We need their sense of humor. St. Albert describes the Valiant Woman's laughing as a swelling in joy of mind and heart which keeps propriety and grace. The cause of the saints' laughter is rooted in their union with God. There is never any laughing in hell. God allows wicked men to be cruelly chastised by fierce demons because they voluntarily submit themselves to the devil. God devastates every place where idolatry is practiced. We ought to see though, laugh at, and mock the communistic marxist phrases and techniques being used today. This helps us resist their brainwashing, not fall into fear, and retain a proper sense of humor. See beyond personal sorrows, chaos in society and country, and evil afflicting the Church. Instead laugh at the short lived attempt of evil. The sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to come.
