FOOD AND LOVE
"He pitied them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd; and He began
to teach them at great length." —Mark 6:34
The main responsibility of a shepherd is to feed his sheep. Jesus the Good
Shepherd is preoccupied with feeding His sheep. He Himself went without
food (Mk 6:31) to feed His sheep by teaching them at great length. The way
Jesus wants us to show our love for Him is by feeding His sheep (Jn
21:17).
We need both physical and spiritual feeding, but the most important is
spiritual. We are fed spiritually in two ways: Holy Communion and God's
word. Jesus said: "My flesh is real food" (Jn 6:55) and "Not on bread
alone is man to live but on every utterance that comes from the mouth of
God" (Mt 4:4).
This booklet, One Bread, One Body, is intended to feed the sheep in these
two ways. We teach the Scripture readings for the daily Eucharist to
encourage all our readers to read the Bible and to go to Mass and Holy
Communion daily. We feed the sheep in this way because we love the sheep,
and especially we love the Shepherd.
Prayer: Jesus, by Your Spirit, may I lose my appetite for the things of
this world and desire You, the Bread of life (Jn 6:35).
Promise: "In Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near
through the blood of Christ." —Eph 2:13
Praise: "Praise the name of the Lord, for His name alone is exalted; His
majesty is above earth and heaven" (Ps 148:13).
