Christ Jesus, after feeding the crowd, you withdrew to the mountain, alone. And so you reveal to us that in the depths of our desire there is a thirst for what is absolute. There we can meet with God and say to him: "God, you are my God; I seek you before the dawn; my soul thirsts for you." And even if we cannot fully understand, this thirst becomes a burning love for God.
