loving life to the max ... · Nov 18, 08:21 AM
I have realized I truly can rise above the circumstances I find myself in and go on. I don’t have to be sad and discouraged, it doesn’t help anyway. I find I love life and am enjoying it to the max, something I might not have done before having to battle cancer…
Breaking Bread · Oct 4, 04:13 PM
The two disciples whom Jesus joined on the road to Emmaus recognised him in the breaking of the bread. What is a more common, ordinary gesture than breaking bread? It may be the most human of all human gestures: a gesture of hospitality, friendship, care, and the desire to be together. Taking a loaf of bread, blessing it, breaking it, and giving it to those seated around the table signifies unity, community, and peace. When Jesus does this he does the most ordinary as well as the most extraordinary. It is the most human as well as the most divine gesture.
The great mystery is that this daily and most human gesture is the way we recognise the presence of Christ among us. God becomes most present when we are most human.
