What do you take with you for a long trip? How do you determine what the essentials are? How do you know what’s going to weigh you down and should be left behind?
God in Christ gives us True Bread for the journey of our life, the nourishment of Grace, Forgiveness, Peace, unstoppable Love. God also teaches us what needs to be left behind: “bitterness and wrath and anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice” (see Ephesians 4:25-5:2).
How does Jesus Christ, the True Bread from Heaven nourish you to “be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you” (Eph 4:32)?
Prayer:
Loving God, Author of Life, Giver of Grace, teach us by your example to be imitators of you. Teach us how to love, how to forgive, how to be people of peace everywhere we go in the journey of our lives. Amen.
