We're unable to survive more than a few dozen hours without water. So it's unsurprising that thirsting for water is a common metaphor to describe the deepest and most important longings that we have. In a world where a drink is scarcely more than a few moments away from us an any time, we might be out of touch with what it feels like to be really thirsty. Spend a few moments before today's service, contemplating the thirsts you feel, including the thirst for fullness of life.
