Go to the Mountain
Jesus would sometimes seek out a deserted place in order to pray or catch his breath. I understand why people followed him, even up on a mountain. And they remained there for days experiencing healing, hearing truth and sharing bread. Jesus still does that. No one who seeks him on the mountain is turned away. Just as I sought closeness to my mother, I would have traversed a mountain to find Jesus.
Eucharistic Grace: Leftovers for the Taking
I don’t always pay attention to the leftovers. Jesus filled their stomachs and then filled their hearts with his Word. Jesus’ words even now continue to provide us what we need, so much so that it is too much to take in. He doesn’t only speak to certain people. God speaks to all who seek to know the truth that He alone can give.
