THIS WEEK"S LESSON:
The secret to joy, according to Jesus
Everyone wants to be happy. It’s the one thing that unites us all. We all want joy.
But how do we find it? All the things we usually chase—money, pleasure, power, and honor—make us happy only for a little while, but then they fade. They don’t satisfy our deep need for joy.
Jesus offers a different way. What’s his path to happiness?
Find out in this short video:
Questions:
- What is the meaning of “happy” or “blessed” as used by Jesus?

- St. Thomas Aquinas said that to be happy, love what Jesus loved while on the cross, and despise what Jesus despised on the cross? What did he love? What did he despise?
