The Jewish ancestors when on the desert route, distrusted and grumbled against God. Some even questioned the existence of God who was leading them. Though fed with manna and quail, they yearned for the flesh pots of Egypt. On the other hand an Ethio- pian eunuch who was going on a desert route, wanted to know and obey God through the Word. The Spirit carries Philip to proclaim the word to him, who encounters eternal life. The living Bread from heaven is something more than a material reality. When Christ speaks the Word, something much deeper takes place. Unseen realities emerge; like air, electricity, and sound waves. When the Word is pondered upon in the depths of the soul, something supernatural happens. The Word becomes a nucleus for inner transformation. The Word that created all living matter is able to create spiritual beings. A Christo-centric being emerges. We too become bread, broken for others in Christ.

PRAYER: Abba Father, may I generously share what I have with others. Amen.
