Restless Hearts:
Finding Peace and Purpose this Lent
An Online Lenten Recollection with Msgr Pedro Quitorio
“You have made us for Yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.”
– St. Augustine of Hippo
In a time where everything demands your attention—academic pressure, career goals, social expectations, online validation—it's easy to feel like you're always running, searching, reaching… and never quite arriving. Behind our busy schedules and curated online lives, many of us are carrying quiet questions:
“What am I really here for?”
“Why do I feel so tired even when I’m doing everything right?”
“Is it possible to feel at peace when the world is so chaotic?”
This Lent, you are invited to a moment of pause. A sacred space to breathe, reflect, and reconnect with the only One who can truly satisfy the longings of the human heart.
Restless Hearts: Finding Peace and Purpose this Lent is a Lenten recollection crafted people who are hungry for depth, direction, and a deeper encounter with God. This is not just another event. It’s an invitation to come home—to your truest self and to the heart of Christ.
