Is Joy Possible?

Adrianna, Giuli and Sofia talk about the search for joy. How does it differ from happiness? What is the relationship between joy and poverty, sacrifice, and suffering? How does our joy grow - and what threatens to take it away? // Our media recommendation is Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novel The Brothers Karamazov. And our monthly challenge is to think back on the times of greatest joy in your life, and pray to the Holy Spirit to show you how God is at work through that joy. // We’d love to hear from you!
