Thirst

  
This stained-glass window in St. Peter’s, Clapham, London, is one of eight depicting the Beatitudes.

Food in the Bible generally relates to the desire for good, and drink generally relates to ideas of what is true. It makes sense then, that being hungry represents a lack of good intentions and a desire for them, while thirsting or being thirsty represents a lack of knowledge and a desire to learn what is true about life, the Lord, and what we are called to do and be.
