Then Mary cried in ecstacy of love and adoration, "Even in dying thou carest still for thy mother." And John tenderly supporting Mary, but looking above to Jesus, exclaimed, "Thy last request is sacred to me." And then to Mary he said, "Thou my mother, I thy son." Then Jesus in a hollow voice, cried hoarsely, "I thirst." The centurion hearing him said, "He thirsts and calls for drink."
As He hungers and thirsts and sleeps; as He weeps over the sins of men, and sorrows over their afflictions, we see His humanity. He seems to be only a man. But when He stills the tempest on the Sea of Galilee, or calls Lazarus back to life, we see His divinity.
It is the first condition of our knowing enough, or amounting to enough, to ever hunger for any one else. Everybody has to make a beginning somewhere. Even a Saint Francis, the man who hungers and thirsts for righteousness, who rises to the heights of social-mindedness, who hungers and thirsts for everybody, begins all alone, at the breast.

Her illimitable appetite for romance hungers and thirsts for more. She shakes me impatiently by the arm.

And now through all the nooks and corners of this kingdom of Scotland, Christ is sending out His servants, and I am sent out unto you this day, crying unto you, "Come away, His oxen and fatlings are killed, His wine is drawn, and His table furnished, and all things ready." 5.
He is satisfied that Caryll befooled him at Maidstone, and that he kept the papers he carried despite the thoroughness of Green's investigations. Moreover, he was handled with some roughness by Caryll. For that and the other matter he asks redress thirsts for it. He's a very willing tool, as I have found." "Then see that you use him adroitly to your work," said his mother.
He thirsts, and calls for wine. A servant hastens; takes up, of course, the poisoned flask in ignorance of its true quality, and pours for his Beatitude.

'You are bearing me to my death, said she suddenly. 'You, who once protected me you, who forsook me! You are luring me into the power of the woman who thirsts for my blood!
