“Pleasure is associated with the body; for instance, we feel pleasure after a good meal.  Joy is of the heart, and it comes from a good conscience.  Joy hears music on the inside even when discords are ringing outside.  Pleasure depends on outward circumstances, for example, wealth, friends, and wine, and therefore it can be obliterated by the slightest toothache.  Joy is independent of outward circumstances; it can be felt even in adversity and pain.” Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Life is Worth Living)
