Originally published at The Catholic Thing
The human heart desires God. As human beings, we were made by God and for God. We can attempt to fill our lives with many things, some of them even good things, but nothing can fill the “God hole” within our souls. We need God and our souls yearn for him. The desire of our heart for God can be clouded, misdirected, and wayward. Our hearts are fallen and so they need to be guided and directed. Our hearts need to be formed by spiritual wisdom.
