Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

“I am the bread of life”

Jesus, The Christ, is – for me -  the staple food across the PIES of my life.

Jesus Christ, present in my family and then friends and chefs in restaurants has been feeding and still feeds my body - my physical life.

His teachings - his words and life-style while in The Holy Land - enlighten my intellect so that my perception of reality is more like his. Thanks to his “what you do to the least of mine, you do unto me (Mt 25,40) I recognise the divine presence in the folk I meet. 

His love - expressed above all on Calvary  and the Resurrection - nourishes my emotional life, keeps my hope alive and enables me to help even those who – superficially – are unattractive.

My faith – and Eriskay experience – has convinced me that God loves me. That love gives me hope, a hope that keeps me active, helping God make this world a better place around where I am .

Thanks to God's love in Jesus Christ for me, I can keep on keeping on as a friend to my friends.

His presence in eternity and space-time enables my spiritual life to be enhanced and develop.

For food to nourish us, it has to be consumed. Hence the need of prayer and  the sacraments.

How about you? How is your prayer life?
