Words of Jesus
"I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh." The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me. This is the bread which came down from heaven, not such as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live forever."
John 6:51-58
Help yourself during troubled periods by reading holy books for this reading provides excellent food for the soul and conduces to great progress along the path of perfection.
— St Pio of Pietrelcina
Abba, Father, Lord God, thankful for the light of a new day, for as the morning sun begins a new day, a new chance, full of choices, so too am I made new through and in Jesus; and so I continue to seek to surround myself with holy books filled with Your Word and the words and expressions of those who seek the oneness with You in the Trinity of the Holy Father, Son and Spirit. I ask You to help me 'remember all the ways which You LORD God have led me' during my years of under the sun, 'that You have humbled me, testing me to know what was in my heart, and whether I want to chose to keep Your commandments, or not.' 'And You humbled me and let me learn to understand my hunger' and to 'know that I do not live by bread alone, but that I live by everything that proceeds out of the Your mouth.' For You 'send forth Your command to the earth; Your word runs swiftly.' And blessed am I that I am able to feel the Your Word; 'because there is one bread, and we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread' for which You are the Source of Source, my Source, I am only complete when I am one with You, no matter what may be going on under the sun. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
