19th Sunday of the Year

At Mass this weekend, we are now in 3rd of 5 Sundays where the readings focus on different aspects of the Eucharist. Above we see the scene from the first reading where Elijah is starving and has fallen asleep and is woken by an angel who has provided him with food for the journey.
The Eucharist is the food that sustains us in our spiritual life. What is it we need sustaining for though? The second reading from St Paul to the Ephesians describes the way of life we are called to by God: a life of kindness and forgiveness. It is a lovely image, but one which, we all know, can be very hard work at times! This is why we need the spiritual nourishment of the Holy Eucharist.
