COME AND EAT OF MY BREAD

"COME TO THE TABLE I PREPARED FOR YOU"

I am a little tired this eve.  I didn't sleep well last night.  I went to bed after 12 A.M and woke up around 3:30 or 4 A. M.  I just couldn't get back to sleep. Finally around 6 A. M. I did drift off, but then that radio alarm woke me up good and proper.  I gave up and got up.

I had to go to E'town and get the TB test read.  It was negative-OK.  I have never  had a positive TB test even though I have been around people with active TB.  I have been lucky.

At least, in having to go across the mighty Ohio more than once this week, and again tomorrow; the price of gas has dropped down to $2.98 per gal.  Even so, it hurts the pocketbook, so I only got about $15.00 dollars worth of gas.  I will use most of that up tomorrow.  I am not complaining (too much) because I can still keep gas in the tank and food on the table.  A lot of people can't.

Tomorrow, being Sunday, you know where I will be  going.  The weeks and days roll by so fast!

O SACRED BANQUET

WHEREIN CHRIST IS RECEIVED,

THE MEMORY OF HIS PASSION

IS RENEWED,

THE MIND IS FILLED

WITH GRACE,

AND THE PLEDGE OF FUTURE

GLORY IS GIVEN UNTO US

O Sacrum Convivium

in quo Christus

sumitur; recolitur memoria

passionis ejus; mens

impletur gratia et

futurae gloriae, nobis

pignus datur.

And while they were at supper, Jesus took bread, and blessed and broke, and gave it to His disciples, and said,"Take and eat; this is my body."  And taking a cup, He gave thanks and gave it to them, saying "All of you drink of this; for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is being shed for many unto the forgiveness of sins."

Matthew 26: 26-27

This is a very important part-it may be the most important part of the gosples.  It is what we center our faith and subsequent "remembrance" around.

As some readers may not have a Bible or access to any Christian teachings; there are very slight variations in the passage/translations of the last supper.  Four great Saints are relating what they witnessed and were part of; Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

I would like to be a Biblical scholar, but of course, I am not.  I would like to impart more spiritual knowledge to any one   looking for a more perfect path.  I am just a simple person with a simple mind.  I even wish at times that I could give up this blog, but know I can not...not while there are even a few hungry people in repressed countries; people without Bibels, searching for the Word of God.  It is often "hard work" for me to post this blog, but I feel that I must continue for those repressed people that do read this post.  I do know where you are and what countries you live in, in a general way.  So, I "hang in there."

I would also like to sleep late in the morning, but I can't do that either. I just gotta do what I gotta do!
