"You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You."
-- St. Augustine, Confessions
“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory

John 4:13-14
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30
"So long as man remains free he strives for nothing so incessantly and so painfully as to find someone to worship."
-- Fyodor Dostoevsky
“When man ceases to worship God he does not worship nothing but worships everything.”
-- G.K. Chesterton
"I believe there is no one deeper, lovelier, more sympathetic and more perfect than Jesus."
-- Fyodor Dostoevsky
"Pray to God for gladness. Be glad as children, as the birds of heaven. And let not the sin of men confound you in your doings. Fear not that it will wear away your work and hinder its being accomplished. Do not say, 'Sin is mighty, wickedness is mighty, evil environment is mighty, and we are lonely and helpless, and evil environment is wearing us away and hindering our good work from being done.' Fly from that dejection, children!"
Repent and believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
