Restless Hearts

📜✨ NEW SONG: "RESTLESS HEARTS" — You can’t fill an infinite hole with finite stuff.

St. Augustine nailed it:
“Our hearts are restless until they rest in You.”

Jean-Paul Sartre saw the same ache and called it “nausea” — because we’re finite… yet we desire the infinite.

C. S. Lewis flipped the whole thing into a lighthouse:
If I find in myself a desire nothing in this world can satisfy, maybe I’m not made for this world.

And that’s the point:
We all carry an infinitely deep hunger, and we keep trying to pack it with finite goods—money, pleasure, power, entertainment, validation, the next upgrade, the next “finally.”

But no matter how many finite things you throw into an infinite hole… it stays empty.
Not because created things are bad (they’re not) —
but because they were never meant to be your God.

The Creator of the universe made you for Himself.
And He’s infinite.

So when you start with Him—when that relationship becomes the foundation—
the hole gets filled… and everything else becomes “stacked on top.”
Everything becomes bonus.

Christ came that you might have fullness of life—
full measure, pressed down, and overflowing.

🎶 "RESTLESS HEARTS" — a track for the over-achievers, the doom-scrollers, the “maybe one more thing will fix it” crowd… and anyone who’s finally ready to come Home.

Question for you:
What’s the “finite thing” you’re most tempted to use as an infinite substitute?

Just a reminder: I’m not a musician—I’m a catechist trying my best to teach the faith with the tools at my disposal. I’ve taught the faith and apologetics (and OCIA/RCIA) for 20+ years, so the words and heart are mine… but the music is created digitally, and the art is AI-generated.
