Beata Mother Teresa novena - Day 3 Third Day - Hear Him Say to You “I Thirst” In his agony, in his pain, in his solitude, he said very clearly “Why have you abandoned me?” He was so terribly alone and abandoned, and suffered so much on the cross…In this very difficult moment he proclaimed “I thirst”… and the people thought he had an ordinary thirst, and they immediately gave him vinegar; but it was no for this that he thirsted - it was for our love, our affection, our intimate attachment to him, and to share His passion. And it is strange that he would have used this word. He said “I thirst” instead of “Give me love”…. the thirst of Jesus on the cross is not imaginary. It was a word “I thirst”. Let us listen to him say it to you and to me…it is really a gift from God. If you listen with your heart, you will hear and you will understand. Until you recognize deep within that Jesus thirsts for you, you will not be able to know who He wants to be for you. Or who He wants you to be for him. Follow his steps in search of souls. Take them to Him and his light to the home of the poor, especially to the souls most in need. Spread the charity of his heart where he wants you to go, and in this way you will quench his thirst for souls. Thought of the day: Imagine! God thirsts for you and I to take a step forward to quench His thirst. Ask Him for the grace to understand the cry of thirst of Jesus. Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, you allowed the thirsting love of Jesus on the Cross to become a living flame within you, and so became the light of His love to all. Obtain from the Heart of Jesus (here make your request). Teach me to allow Jesus to penetrate and possess my whole being so completely that my life, too, may radiate His light and love to others. Amen. Immaculate Heart of Mary, Cause of Our Joy, pray for me. Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, pray for me.
