We need this Bread...

  As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so live in him,

rooted and built up in him and established in the faith,

just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. 

Colossians 2:6,7

"In taking flesh, the Son of God could become Bread 

and thus be the nourishment of his people, 

of us, journeying on in this world toward the 

promised land of heaven.  We need this Bread 

to face the fatigue and weariness of our journey."

Pope Benedict XVI

from his book Heart of the Christian Life: 

Thoughts on the Holy Mass
