Our thirst for the true good (St. Francis de Sales)

  Oh! what a union there will be of of our heart with God in heaven above, where after these infinite desires for the true good which are never satisfied in this world, we shall find the living, the mighty source of that good!  Then in truth it shall be as when we see a hungry babe that tightly clings to its mother’s side and finds her breast.  It presses so greedily on that dear fountain of sweet, longed-for drink that it seems as if it wishes to thrust itself wholly into its mother’s breast or else to suck and draw that whole breast into its own.  So too our soul pants with an extreme thirst for the true good, and when it finds its inexhaustible source in the divinity, O true God! how sweet and holy is its ardor to be united and joined to those bounteous breasts of the All-good, either that our soul may be buried altogether within it or that it may come entirely into us!

--St. Francis de Sales,
