“In this discourse I shall discuss the following main topics: first, the nature of hunger; second, the nature of holiness; and third, how the example and teaching of modern Orthodox Saints help awaken in us the hunger for holiness, and show us ways and means of achieving its fulfillment. There are many references to hunger in the New Testament. Some of them are to physical hunger, while others are to spiritual hunger. In Saint Matthew, chapter 4, verse 2, we read that Christ ‘fasted forty days, and afterward He was hungry [epeinase].’ The second reference, which appears in the Sermon on the Mount, in chapter 5, is to spiritual hunger. Christ says: ‘Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied’ (5:6).”
