Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread - An Invitation From Our Father

Our Father, "Give us this day our daily bread." (Matthew 6:11)

No parent can ignore the cry of a hungry child. It is a primal plea for life. Even if the child had been misbehaving, a plea for food will not fail "to turn back the hearts of fathers toward their sons." (Sirach 48:10)

Our Heavenly Father loves us so much that He gives us His only Son for our endless life (John 3:16, John 3 KJV). Jesus is the bread from heaven given by the Father; whoever eats this Bread will live forever (John 6:58). Family dinners are vital for a united family. There we share the day's events and more importantly, love and reconciliation. 

Our Father invites us daily to the Eucharist Table (Matthew 22:1-4). He desires our reconciliation and to share with Him our life's events and problems. Do you have problems? Come, eat and believe in the Bread from Heaven. Our Father needs our belief to work miracles (Matthew 13:58, MT 13:58).

The Lord's Prayer - Give us this day our daily bread
