LONGING FOR GOD

The whole life of a good Christian is a holy desire to see God as He is. Now what you long for, you do not yet see, but longing makes you capable of being filled when at last you behold what you have desired. … God, by making us wait in hope, stretches our desire; by making us desire, He stretches our soul; by stretching our soul, He makes it capable of holding more. So let us desire, brothers, for we shall be filled.

Augustine of Hippo

Lord our God, grant us grace to desire You with our whole heart, so that desiring, we may seek and find You; and so finding You, we may love You; and loving You, we may hate those sins from which You have redeemed us.

Anselm of Canterbury

Give me, good Lord, a longing to be with You.

Thomas More
