An inescapable characteristic of the human spirit is its persistent restlessness, its insatiable searching: "You have made us for yourself alone, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you." Complete personal fulfillment can be attained only in consummate loving union with God in himself.
This restlessness initially manifests itself to our consciousness in an obscure pull towards something more in life something more than what actually is: something beyond the status quo. Upon deeper examination, however, we discover that this quest is not actually a desire for some-thing at all. It is rather the manifestation of a mysterious yearning for some-One, for Him Who Is. This "something more" which irresistibly draws us is ultimately the fullness of transformation in Christ: Our "innermost being is consumed with longing" for God (Jb 19:27).
