• Lenten practices of giving up pleasures are good reminders that the purpose of life is not pleasure. The purpose of life is to attain to perfect life, all truth and undying ecstatic love - which is the definition of God. In pursuing that goal we find happiness. Pleasure is not the purpose of anything; pleasure is a by-product resulting from doing something that is good. One of the best ways to get happiness and pleasure out of life is to ask ourselves, 'How can I please God?' and, 'Why am I not better?' It is the pleasure-seeker who is bored, for all pleasures diminish with repetition.

  Fulton J. Sheen

  Giving Up, Practice, Perfect

• ...we must realize that a vast majority of believers are still searching and will continue to search for the being who is the "source of human good."

To be sure, there are many possible ways of finding God.

• the seeker who embraces positive theology finds ... that you can have all that stuff in the mall, as well as the beautiful house and car, if only you believe that you can. But ... if you don't have all that you want, if you feel sick, discouraged, or defeated, you have only yourself to blame. Positive theology ratifies and completes a world without beauty, transcendence, or mercy.

• I am amazed at the seeker of purity
  When time for polishing comes
  Complaints of harsh treatment
  Love is a lawsuit
  Without evidence, you will not win
  My son, when one beats the rug The beating is not intended against the rug
  But against the dust inside the rug
  My son, that harsh treatment
  Is not intended against you
  But against the ill qualities inside you

  Rumi

• I've walked these streets, in a carnival of sights to see. All the cheap thrill seekers, the vendors & the dealers, they crowded around me. Have I been blind? Have I been lost, inside myself and my own mind? Hypnotized, mesmerized, by what my eyes have seen? I've walked these streets, in a spectacle of wealth & poverty. In the diamond market, the scarlet welcome carpet that they just rolled out for me.
