“It is Jesus in fact that you seek when you dream of happiness; he is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; he is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is he who provokes you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is he who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is he who reads in your hearts your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle.”
-St. John Paul II
Today’s Reflection:
Even when we don’t recognize it, Jesus is at the center of our searching, quietly calling us to a life of truth, joy, and fullness. Every restless desire in our hearts is an invitation to draw closer to Him. What longing in your heart might actually be Jesus reaching out to you?
