Context? CCCXII

I was surprised to hear a radio sermon on Easter Sunday once in which the priest said, "We, as (members of a particular denomination), are not generally accustomed to displaying unrestrained joy."  

I wasn't surprised that he advocated being joyful on Easter.  However, I didn't expect him to say, in essence, "Generally, we're somewhat inhibited and guarded.  Today, we don't have to act that way."
