We long to see your face, O Lord!

What is the greatest human desire?

The greatest desire of the human person is to see God.  “I want to see God” is the cry of our whole being.
We realize our true and full happiness in the vision and beatitude of the One who created us out of love and draws us to himself with infinite love.  
“Whoever sees God has obtained all the goods of which he can conceive.” (Saint Gregory of Nyssa)
