Nice reflection.

I do have one question for you. You state that “…everyone has a spiritual hunger…”. Where did you get that information?

The only reason I bring that up is I’m sure there are quite a few atheists and agnostics that would disagree with you. Even though they are in the minority, they do have a rather loud voice.

Keep up the good work,

Mark

Thank you Joe. It truly reflects how deeply we need God, and as Fulton Sheen puts it, He is always there, it’s just that when we pull away from Him is when He feels so far away.

Even St Teresa was left doubting and wanting. Spiritual hunger is real, but even with the saints it is not sated. WHY?

Particularly like the line about ” It’s not about social or economic status, but spiritual status.” You have a gift for making the readings come alive and making them relevant.
