PRAYER PAUSE
Tuesday, 2 May 2017, St Athanasius
THE BREAD
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “I am the bread of life. Whoever
comes to me will never be hungry; the one who believes in me will never thirst.”
(John 6:3-35).
Reflection. Bread, food, nourishment, daily
needs, communion, union. The word begins with a common meaning; the substance
is available in shops and stores. Then it opens out that meaning to include the
full dimension of our human journey. The Jews stopped at the first meanings and
so do many, perhaps most. Yet, conveyed in that simple human word, there is the
mystery of our destiny and our happiness.
Prayer. Lord, give us this day our daily
bread. Amen.
