The desire for wholeness.
“There is something in the
depths of our being that hunger for wholeness and finality. Because we are
made for eternal life, we are made for an act that gathers up all the powers
and capacities of our being and offers them simultaneously and forever to God.
The blind spiritual instinct that tells us obscurely that our owns lives have a
particular importance and purpose, and which urges us to find out our vocation,
seeks in so doing to bring us to a decision that will dedicate our lives irrevocably
to their true purpose. The man who loses this sense of his own personal
destiny, and who renounces all hope of having any kind of vocation in life has
either lost all hope of happiness or else has entered upon some mysterious
vocation that God alone can understand.” In the Oxford Dictionary Wholeness is defined as
wholeness
/ˈhəʊlnəs/
- the state of forming a complete and harmonious whole; unity.
- "the work lacked a sense of wholeness and meaning"
- the state of being unbroken or undamaged.
