WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4 MEMORIAL OF JOHN DAMASCENE, PRIEST, DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH OR ADVENT WEEKDAY Your cup will overflow God does not send us away hungry. Remember this promise of faith the next time you find yourself feeling empty. During times of spiritual dryness, trust that you will be fulfilled. As Saint John Damascene observed, as created beings, humans are subject to flux: “By flux,” writes this seventh-century church doctor, “I mean . . . depletion, for dry things and wet things and spirit suffer depletion, and require repletion.” The best thing you can do to restore your soul is to continue to pray and do good works. As you feed others, you will soon find yourself satisfied. TODAY’S READINGS: Isaiah 25:6-10a; Matthew 15:29-37 (177). “I do not want to send them away hungry, for fear they may collapse on the way.” preparetheword
