“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too
strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures,
fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when
infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child
who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum
because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of
a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”
