We hold this treasure in earthen vessels.

Yesterday's Reflection

Friday within the Octave of Easter

Reflection

When they climbed out on shore, they saw a charcoal fire with fish on it and bread. Jesus said to them: come, have breakfast.

The Reading

When they climbed out on shore, they saw a charcoal fire with fish on it and bread. Jesus said to them: come, have breakfast.

The Challenge

Today, let someone feed you. Not metaphorically - literally. Let your husband cook. Let your friend bring the meal. Let your daughter pour the coffee. If no one offers, ask. You have fed everyone else. The Risen Christ says: come, have breakfast. Receive it today.

One Prayer

Lord, I have been cooking for everyone. Today you are on the shore with fish on the fire and bread in your hands. Let me sit down. Let me be fed. I come to breakfast. I receive what you have prepared. Amen.

“This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad.”

— Psalm 118:24
