God provides for us in so many ways. When we walk in God's ways and trust God, there is no limit to what God can and will do on our behalf. In the Bible, this is often symbolised by food and drink - the staples of life. We see this first in the interchange between Abraham and the shadowy priest of God, Melchizedek, whom later biblical interpreters believe prefigured Christ.

It was evident in the miraculous feeding of the 5,000 in the Gospels. Jesus took apparent scarcity - five loaves and two fish - and fed a multitude. By leaving us the Eucharist - the Lord's Supper - Jesus gave us an opportunity to be nourished spiritually and grow in solidarity and unity with one another and with Him. That is why Paul rebuked the Corinthian community - their celebration witnessed selfishness and division rather than Jesus.

Our celebration should always be a sign to the world of our unity and love for one another. Let us grow in our trust in God and our eagerness to love and serve one another. The Eucharist is a pledge to serve the poor, desperate, and brokenhearted of our world.
