Why are we so drawn to beauty — and why does it never seem to fully satisfy us? In this reflection, Fr Gavan explores the restless heart of St. Augustine, a man who chased earthly beauty only to discover that his deepest desire was for God Himself. Drawing from Augustine’s Confessions and the wisdom of the Church, we’ll discover how our longing for beauty points us to the Creator, the only One who can truly fulfill our hearts.🔴 ABOUT USCalled to More is a Catholic not-for-profit media apostolate based in Ireland.
