As persons, we are so constituted that in our minds, hearts, and personalities, we are insatiable, bottomless wells, capable of receiving the infinite. God made us that way so that ultimately we could be in union with infinite love and life. Because of this, there can be no fully meaningful and final solution to our loneliness outside of union with the infinite. Therefore, in this life we are always lonely.
—Ronald Rolheiser, The Restless Heart: Finding Our Spiritual Home in Times of Loneliness
