In Pensées, Pascal reflects on man’s search for happiness, writing: “What else does this craving, and this helplessness, proclaim but that there was once in man a true happiness, of which all that now remains is the empty print and trace? This he tries in vain to fill with everything around him, seeking in things that are not there the help he cannot find in those that are, though none can help, since this infinite abyss can be filled only with an infinite and immutable object; in other words by God himself.” The same God Who formed us is the God Who knows us and Who wants to be known by us. Just as an artistic masterpiece cannot be fully understood apart from understanding the artist, so we cannot separate our purpose from our Creator—the God Who gave us birth.
