THE
BREAD OF LIFE
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “I am the bread of life. The
one who comes to me will never be hungry; the one who believes in me will never
thirst..” (John 6:30-35)
Reflection. Whether by accident or by
design, the shape of the bread we use for the Eucharist is round. So is the
world, our planet. Teilhard de Chardin (Google him!), meditating on the
Eucharist, saw this world of ours, which we now know is evolving rapidly to
ever higher states of consciousness, as gradually transformed into the likenss
of God. The simple statement, ‘I am the bread of life,’ is heavily weighted
with meaning. Bread stands for any food and food gives us life and growth. This
bread takes that first life and growth to unimaginable levels which faith
allows us to wonder at. Let us allow the Eucharist to deeply penetrate our
being so that we and our society are transformed.
Prayer. Lord, you are the bread of
life. Transform us and transform our world into your likeness. Amen.
