“Most of us are like the man who lay at the Pool of Bethsatha for thirty-eight years who was not cured.  His excuse was that when the waters were stirred, there was no one to put him in.  He needed healing but he really did not want it.  When our Lord appeared, He told the man to do the very thing he thought was impossible, namely take up his bed.  What was wanting was his will.  He was moribund because he did not want to be better.  Ever since the days of Adam man has been hiding from God and saying God is hard to find.  The truth is that in each heart there is a secret garden which God made uniquely for Himself.  The garden is like a safety deposit vault inasmuch as it has two keys.  God has one key, hence the soul cannot let in anyone else but God.  The human heart has the other key, hence not even God can get in without man’s consent.  God is always at the Garden Gate with his key.  We pretend to look for ours, saying we cannot find it, but all the while it is in our hand, did we but will to see it.  The reason we are not happy is because we do not want God.”     Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Modern Soul in Search of God)
