Longing

the wonderful thing about being away from those you love,
if there is a "wonderful" thing,
is seeing them again..
the longing to hold that someone,
talk to them,
look into their eyes,
there is nothing like it on earth.
I will have that joy today,
and I am counting the minutes!
this is the longing Jesus has for us,
the longing He wants us to have for Him,
in the Eucharist we taste this especially.
it has been this way for 2000 years..
and He is always faithful to His Word,
"This is My Body"
He never fails us,
His love for us in intense, crazy,beautiful,
mysterious, endless,
'Lord, give us all this longing for You..'
