Catechism of the Catholic Church Study 30

Though man can reject or forget God, God never forgets man and by the very act of sustenance continues to provide graces of calling man back to communion with Him. This is eternal and continues even after man falls into hellfire. However, when man dies damned, he can no longer gain God, though God eternally loves man, the man simply rejects God eternally thus the state of damnation. Now even for those people who seek God and eventually persevere, first all of their being is demanded for the search and reception of God, and second the aid of community or others is necessary to properly attain God.

The quotation from St Augustine tells us this, that the man who seeks God seeks to praise Him as well. The man recognizes his own insignificance and smallness before God who is infinite. At the end of the quotation is most relevant. That God created us for communion and union with Him. As such, our hearts are restless until they rest in God.
