Longing for God.

As I baptized two kids yesterday, I could see the longing their parents to see getting baptized. Today's responsorial psalm (Ps 42/43) expresses such a deep longing for God: “My soul is thirsting for the living God” - This might have been the desire of Naaman after his healing. Lent invites us like Israel's people to truly thirst for God with that same urgency. Like the psalmist, we should seek God’s light and truth daily in order to reach God’s dwelling place. This implies that our faith is a journey, not just a position. We must hunger for God with humility in order to welcome his presence in our daily lives.

Jesus, I trust in you
