Speaking to us, over the last few Sundays, Jesus says ’The
Father sends us Bread from Heaven, a Spirit Bread’. This Love Bread is
found in Mass and Holy Communion. Jesus tells that this Bread is healing
Food for the poor, the sick, the weary, the worried, the disheartened, the
disturbed, the sinner who knows he is sinner...lacking in love.
When Jesus feeds the crowds He is extravagantly generous.
He includes all in God’s love, like The Wedding Wine Feast at Cana when He
began His Mission of Love. Some of our teaching in the past may have been
well meant, but I think also left some residue of unhealthy scruple in
relation to Holy Communion,...that It was only for holy people, rather than
for struggling humans, in the kitchen, the factory, the farm, the business
place, the chapel, the school, the everyday slot of life.
We love when we try to be loving, in the thousand situations
of everyday living. Jesus often asked ‘Do you want to be healed’? I think
it means ..do you want to grow in love, but never to reach perfection, then
,’Take and eat ‘...Mystery of Love ...Yes, but it is The Father that draws
us.
