Narration and production by Richard Carlton
Very well done beautiful , he one of my favorite saints and of course his mother who helped and prayed gor his conversion
"Man has a soul of vast desires,
He burns within with restless fires;
Tossed to and fro, his passions fly
From vanity to vanity.
"In vain on earth we hope to find
Some solid good to fill the mind;
We try new pleasures, but we feel
The inward thirst and torment still.
"So when a raging fever burns,
We shift from side to side by turns,
And 'tis a poor relief we gain,
To change the place, but keep the pain.
"Great God, subdue this vicious thirst,
This love to vanity and dust;
Cure the vile fever of the mind,
And feed our souls with joys refined."
~ Isaac Watts (1674-1748)

"You have made us for Yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in You."
Here is the real search, and here is revealed how to make this search...
