Fr. John Riccardo brings meditation from Mother Teresa to life

This meditation, attributed to Mother Teresa — now St. Teresa of Calcutta — and read by Fr. John Riccardo of the Archdiocese of Detroit, reminds us that God is always waiting for us, and always with us, whether we feel it or not. When Jesus said “I thirst” from the cross, his words were not simply about his need for water, but his deep desire for you and me.
