When our whole life is one faith, hope, love, prayer and silence, a consecrated life always bound up in the Eucharist, then the 'urge' towards God springs.
Interpretation
A life centered on faith, hope, love, and prayer fosters a deep connection with God.
Pope John Paul II emphasizes that a life dedicated to essential spiritual values such as faith, hope, love, and prayer, especially when intertwined with the Eucharist, creates a natural inclination to seek and draw closer to God. This connection signifies that when one lives a consecrated life rooted in these principles, the desire to experience Godβs presence becomes profoundly strong.
In practice

Such an attitude is destructive of freedom and peace.

The issue is not going to church; rather, the issue is worshipping and renewing covenants as we attend church. The issue is not going to or through the temple; rather, the issue is having in our hearts the spirit, the covenants, and the ordinances of the Lord's house. The issue is not going on a mission; rather, the issue is becoming a missionary and serving throughout our entire life with all of our heart, might, mind, and strength.
