Holy desires are different than surface
wants, like, I want a new car or I
want a new computer… I'm talking about
our deepest desires, the ones that shape our lives: desires that help us to know who we are to
become and what we are to do. Our deep
desires help us to know God's desires for us, and how much God desires to be
with us. And God, I believe, encourages
us to notice and name these desires, in the same way that Jesus
encouraged Bartimaeus to articulate his desire. Recognizing our desires means recognizing God's desires for us.

Jesuit Guide to Almost Everything
