It’s said by Christians that Jesus is food for the world. This reflects the Eucharistic theology that is the core of Christian spirituality. Jesus himself is the bread broken and shared. This is prefigured in the Gospels when the infant Jesus lies in the manger.
 
Though we consider often the paschal mystery, the Eucharist itself is the food for our journey to the paschal mystery. Jesus himself comes to us as the Bread of Life, food for the world, and satisfaction for the hungry.
 
Now, after the resurrection, after his many appearances to his disciples, we come to know him in the breaking of the bread. The breaking implies, and even foreshadows, the paschal mystery.
 
The bread is not merely admired, but it is broken as Jesus himself is broken for us during the passion and death. In so doing, he becomes food for us, life-giving sustenance as we embark on the path to follow him.


God Bless your Hearts!
