Dom Hubert Van Zeller

What the soul hardly realizes is that, unbeliever or not, his loneliness is really a homesickness for God.

Thus it looks in the last analysis as if the soul which serves God in spirit and in truth enjoys a very unusual kind of peace: not the satisfying inward rest which we would have expected, nor the outward rest of having everything in order and nothing left out, but a rest which consists in contentment at having sacrificed both to the will of God.
