the pursuit of beatitude

I just finished watching Will Smith's movie The Pursuit of Happyness for the second time, and my mind is once again filled with an overwhelming number of insights. I think he hits the issue right on the head when he emphasizes the role that pursuit plays in one's journey towards happiness. So often, we get distracted by everything that comes our way and we fail to recognize those opportunities for greatness and joy. I've realized that NOTHING can make me completely or fully satisfied--except for the Lord Himself. I'm certainly far from the beatific vision, but I've already received glimpses of it simply by trying to live a Christocentric lifestyle. It is with great hope and promise that I pray that you will be able to attain this form of enlightenment as well. Peace be your journey.
