Bread from Heaven

In the Old Testament, Moses prayed that they would receive food for their journey in the desert. We also are on a journey and pray often in the Our Father, to give us our daily bread. This bread is Christ. He is the Bread of Life. He nourishes us. This is why it is so important for us to be nourished with the Eucharist. The Eucharist is our food for the soul, but it is so much more. The Eucharist is an image for what our life should be. The Eucharist is Christ. He becomes our food. God humbles himself to offer himself continuously to the Father so that we can make it to be with Him. Christ stays there to remind us of all that He continues to do for us. We have to make our life into a living Eucharist by offering ourselves to God with Christ.
