by El Greco
St Augustine of Hippo wrote:
“O God, thou hast made us for Thyself, and our hearts are restless till they rest in thee”
I find it remarkable that nearly 1600 years ago this man wrote about a ‘restlessness‘ that many of us still feel today, a restlessness that led us to become Academy students, and in many ways follow his footsteps. St Augustine reasoned that this restlessness was due to us being out of harmony with God, and that our hearts will continue to be restless “till they rest in thee”. For to know about God is one thing, but to know God is quite another, and our hearts are restless until we do know Him.
