“Man is a hungry being. But he is hungry for God. Behind all the hunger of our life is God. All desire is finally a desire for Him. To be sure, man is not the only hungry being. All that exists lives by 'eating.' The whole creation depends on food. But the unique position of man in the universe is that he alone is to bless God for the food and the life he receives from him.”
