Seek and Find

(Found here)

“To find God is to seek him unceasingly. Here, indeed, to seek is not one thing and to find another. The reward of the search is to go on searching. The soul’s desire is fulfilled by the very fact of its remaining unsatisfied, for really to see God is never to have had one’s fill of desiring him.”

~St. Gregory of Nyssa

“You are a mystery as deep as the sea; the more I search, the more I find, and the more I find, the more I search for you. But I can never be satisfied; what I receive will ever leave me desiring more. When you fill my soul I have an even greater hunger, and I grow more famished for your light. I desire above all to see you, the true light, as you really are.”

~St. Catherine of Siena

“The knowledge of faith does not set desire at rest, but inflames it—because everyone desires to see what he believes.”

~St. Thomas Aquinas

“The hidden God, the mysterious God, is not distant and absent: He is always the God who is near.”

~Henri de Lubac

“God is the soul of our soul: that is the source that gives it life. It is there that we must seek Him, and it is there we shall find Him without end.”

~Augustin Guillerand
