(Sailing in New York Harbor)

 "It doesn't do to make the pursuit of happiness our main concern. There is the danger that we may not know it when we've got it. We can't help wanting it, but as to our having it, that is God's affair. For us to get on with the business of living. Happiness is a by-product."

~ Dom Hubert van Zeller, OSB, "We Live with Our Eyes Open," imprimatur 1949.

Let us raise our sails, and go where the wind of the Holy Ghost leads us. But let us not seek for earthly happiness as our final destination. God's Will should be our goal: God's perfect plan for our lives...and ultimately perfect happiness in Heaven. If we find some earthly joys along the way, then that is the sunshine glinting on the waters of our hearts....bringing brightness and beauty, but not ultimate happiness.
