Methodius of Olympus:
"I hunger for Thee, who quickens the dead; I thirst for Thee, who refreshes the weary; I desire Thee, the Creator and Redeemer of the world."
Clement of Alexandria:
"As, then, “those that are persecuted,” so also “those that hunger and thirst” for righteousness’ sake, are called “blessed” by Him who approves of the true desire, which not even famine can put a stop to. And if “they hunger after righteousness itself,” they are blessed."
Ignatius:
"I desire the bread of God, the heavenly bread, the bread of life, which is the flesh of Jesus Christ, the Son of God … . And I desire the drink of God, namely His blood, which is incorruptible love and eternal life."
