living bread of the altar

14:15 May 23, 2012 

From reading the text I came to realize that when Christ gave bread as his Last Supper, refering to the Euchrist, he wanted the humanity to keep in mind that Christ is their daily bread.
And as humanity depends on his daily bread, he needs Christ and God then.
Living here means that, in my idea of course, we can never be independent from Christ and God. It's an ever-lasting need within us, though presented through sth physical like bread.

These may provide you with some idea:
It was unlike any bread of human invention. These delicious flakes of wafers appeared on the ground every morning. They lasted only a day and then rotted, because God wanted to teach the people to rely on him daily.

God wants us to do everything we can while relying on him for everything we cannot do, every day, each and every moment. In all that we need – whether it's money for living expenses or patient love for someone who's causing us problems – God stretches us beyond our limitations and provides us with his limitless resources.
When we act this way, we've forgotten that Jesus, who is the living bread, is our daily bread. We've received the Eucharist, the Bread of Life, selfishly, which is hardly what Jesus intended when he instituted the Mass.
