Jesus, Our Food and Drink

Jesus is the Word of God, who came down from heaven, was born of the Virgin Mary
 through the power of the Holy Spirit, and became a human person.  This happened
 in a specific place at a specific time.   But each day when we celebrate the Eucharist,
Jesus comes down from heaven, takes bread and wine, and by the power of the Holy
 Spirit becomes our food and drink.  Indeed, through the Eucharist, God's incarnation
continues to happen at any time and at any place.

Sometimes we might think:  "I wish I had been there with Jesus and his apostles
long ago!"  But Jesus is closer to us now than he was to his own friends.  Today
 he is our daily bread!
