Blessed are you hungry

 Jesus was repeatedly concerned with the hunger and thirst of men in such a specific way that he performed miracles to feed them. The multiplication of the loaves and the transformation of the water into wine are proof of this. Hungry and thirsty for righteousness, Jesus is not talking about the hungry and thirsty for material food and drink, but for righteousness, that is, perfection, holiness. God justifies man by His grace, which is the basis of Christian perfection, the goal of which is not here on earth because the Christian is called to be perfect to be perfect as the perfect heavenly Father is. He who has an awareness of Christian perfection can never feel satisfied with his righteousness, his virtues, his good deeds. It is generally thought that the Gospel beatitudes are intended for a few chosen people who are completely consecrated to God. The Second Vatican Council said: The world cannot be transformed without the spirit of the Beatitudes. Without the spirit of poverty, without the love of the cross, without silence, as well as without hunger and thirst for justice. And yet there are not many Christians who have these qualities. For whom the search for the kingdom of God and his righteousness comes first. Often, even in believers, there is still too much hunger and thirst for earthly things. Only when one abandons the desire to be saturated with earthly goodness does he become hungrier and thirsty for God, for communion with him. When a person has this hunger and thirst in him, then no matter what he does for God, it seems too little to him, he does not tolerate even the slightest unfaithfulness and tries with all his might to ignite this hunger and thirst for God in the hearts of others. love .. 2 Corinthians 5:14 said St. Paul. Lord, let us desire You with the same eagerness with which we desire food and drink when we are hungry and thirsty. I know only you can feed me. But I will achieve perfect saturation only in heaven. Saint Augustine wrote in his Confessions late I began to love you, beauty so old and so new. You were inside and I outside and there I was looking for you, there in your beautiful creatures You were with me, but I was not with you. I was distracted from you by everything that would not have happened at all if it had not been in you. You called and screamed, drowning out my deafness. You were brilliant and radiant, so you drove away my blindness. You spread a sweet scent and I inhaled it and longed for you. I’ve tasted hungry now and I’m thirsty for you. You touched me and I longed for your peace
