Generating joy (Pope St. Paul VI)


  This paradox, and this difficulty in attaining joy, seem to us particularly acute today… Technological society has succeeded in multiplying the opportunities for pleasure, but it has great difficulty in generating joy.  For joy comes from another source.  It is spiritual.

--Pope St. Paul VI, Gaudete in Domino (1975)
