"[Psalm 63] appears frequently in the Breviary, the official prayer of the Church. It's a beautiful prayer, one that expresses in compelling language our natural human longing for God, the God in whom 'we live, and move and have our being,' as St. Paul preached. (Acts 17: 28)
"I
have to confess, though, whenever I say the prayer I feel a little bit
guilty, because the experience of the Psalmist isn't always my
experience. . . ."
In a recent commentary, Bishop Thomas J. Tobin, of the Diocese of Providence (RI), reflected on the experience of longing for God and its place in our lives.
