Pleasure, Happiness, Joy (14)

Booklets from Taizé: 14

Frère Pierre-Yves
Pleasure, happiness, joy

What are the differences and what are the similarities between pleasure, happiness and joy?
In relation to joy, what is the importance of pleasure?
Is happiness necessarily selfish?
Under what conditions can joy be not only a virtue but also a living and profound experience?

Faith and joy, they are like a tree that in springtime lets its lifeblood rise from the deepest roots of pleasure to the loftiest crown of spirituality.

The Taizé booklets want to open up paths to the essential sources of faith. Drawing on the experiences of the youth meetings around the community, they look at crucial questions for Christians today.
