Athirst ~ Msgr. Daniel Hoye

Readings for today's Homily

Perhaps you have had the experience of being with someone who has some surgery or just has an illness where they can't really swallow water but their mouth is parched.  They either have to suck on a little stick with a moisturizer on the end or maybe all they can do is eat chipped ice, letting it melt in their mouth.  That image came to mind today as I prayed the Psalm "athirst is my soul for the living God".

We can imagine how parched we are physically looking for water.  Can we identify when we are spiritually parched?  When God is willing to satisfy us if we simply ask Him to be with us, to be with our soul. 

We pray today, athirst is my soul for the living God.
