Friday 13th Week of Ordinary Time

 Hunger for the Lord Amos 8:9-12


When we wake up in the morning we are hungry. 

At night we want to know what’s for dinner. 

And in between we are always looking for something to snack on. 


The prophet Amos told the people 

That God was going to send a famine on the land. 

Not a famine of bread or water. 

But For hearing the word of God. 


A famine, a spiritual emptiness, 

So that they would hunger for God. 


If only we would hunger to fill our souls with the Body and Blood of Christ

As much as we hunger to fill our stomachs,

The world would be a paradise once again.
