“But, where are you going in the course of your life? Each day, each hour you do, think, say always something. To what end? The truth is that you aspire for something, more or less distant; and you tend towards it, because you hope that it will bring you a crumb of happiness. This aspiration for happiness is so natural that there does not exist a man in the world that does not desire happiness; for only this men amass money, search for glory and pleasure: to find happiness...” (SK 1207)
Father Kolbe goes on to explain that we can attain happiness, and what is more, we don't have to wait. God is the source of happiness, that Infinite Goodness capable of filling our limitless desire. If we draw near to Him, we can foretaste eternal happiness already in this life. We are CREATED for happiness. Don't forget. It's in reach, and it's only going to get better!
