The words “happiness” and “joy” are often used interchangeably, and their definitions share many similarities. When probed from a Catholic perspective, however, we can draw some distinctions.

And while we can actively seek temporal goods for ourselves that provide a sense of fleeting happiness, only God can instill enduring joy in our hearts and souls.
