The bread of love and peace

The Bread Line, 1872
Grigori Grigorjewitsch Mjassojedow (1834-1911)

Jesus said, “I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.” John 6:51

We are one with Jesus as we give life to the world by following his example of humbly feeding those who are hungry for love, peace, forgiveness, food, safe homes, and a warm welcome. We are one with Jesus when we accept that our commitment to serve and speak out on behalf of the poor, overlooked, and forgotten may lead us to the Cross, as his life service did.

Today I will take time to feed myself by reading the Word of God. I will choose to eat the Lord’s bread of loving kindness, reconciliation, and generosity. I will speak respectfully to all people and make a donation to an organization that provides food for those in need.
