November 14th 2023

Some people are happy when they have time to reflect; others are happy when they can be carefree and amuse themselves. Some need a family life; others prefer solitude and celibacy. Some need to help, succour and care for their neighbour, while others need to persecute and destroy them, and so on. This quest for happiness, which varies with each individual depending on their own particular temperament, is always a form of the quest for God; a quest that may show a lack of wisdom or of light perhaps, but which is still a quest for God. Yes, because hidden behind this notion of happiness is God. It is He who gave humans this aspiration for happiness, so that they might eventually find Him.

And there, at last, they will truly find Him.*
