Should Catholics have a sense of humor? Why is it important and even necessary for us to find things funny and how does that relate to humility?

It's no coincidence that humor and humility share a common route. When we are truly humble, we see the world in its proper proportion. So, when things become out of proportion or incongrous, we can laugh! If we take ourselves lightly, we will begin to notice that that suffering and pains of this life will weigh us down less often.

Growing in virtue is predicated on the knowledge that we are nothing and God is everything. When we undoubtedly fall, our sense of humor allows us to laugh, shake the dust off, and begin anew.

A Christian needs a sense of humor. It provides the very levity required for God to lift us into the heights of heaven.

Reference: Luke 14, Matthew 5
