"The Holy Spirit is God eternally giving himself; like a never-ending spring he pours forth nothing less than himself. In view of this ceaseless gift, we come to see the limitations of all that perishes, the folly of the consumerist mindset. We begin to understand why the quest for novelty leaves us unsatisfied and wanting. Are we not looking for an eternal gift? The spring that will never run dry? With the Samaritan woman, let us exclaim: give me this water that I may thirst no more! (cf. Jn 4:15)."
~Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, 7/19/08 Homily
Like the deer that yearns for running streams,
so my soul is yearning for you, my God.
~Psalm 42(41):2
