“It is Jesus 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 provoked 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 heart your most genuine choices. The choices that
others try to stifle.”
– St. John Paul II
