Matthew 5:6
Douay-Rheims
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill.
John Chrysostom (attributed)
All good which men do not from love of the good itself is unpleasing before God. He hungers after righteousness who desires to walk according to the righteousness of God; he thirsts after righteousness who desires to get the knowledge thereof.
