Bread of Life - what necessary
Among the ancient warring Anglo-Saxons, guarding the food supply was an important assignment. Since bread was the primary staple food at that time, this task essentially meant guarding the bread supply. Because the Anglo-Saxons constantly feared that the enemy would pilfer their food and cause starvation, someone was always responsible for guarding it. It is worthwhile examining some etymology here. In time the term was contracted to hlaford. By the Middle Ages, the word had first evolved into laferd and then loverd. Finally, in latter English, the word was reduced to the familiar word lord , and was the expression used to refer to that master of the household supplies, especially the bread supplies.

Bread of Life - theme
A few months ago, during a time of especially intense ministry, I noticed I was feeling low. The pandemic we continue to live through seems to create especially acute temptations to weariness. We are not perfectly faithful, but much of the time and in many ways we offer ourselves to Him. We want Him to have His way in us, and we want others to receive their share in the blessedness He so freely offers. We have taken up our cross to follow Jesus, and He gives us the privilege of laboring for His kingdom in ways that involve sacrifice, self-denial, and even dying. Following Jesus puts us in contact with negative influences that could, if we face them apart from Him, leave us exhausted and worn. We even carry some negative influences in the unhealed places in our own souls, and we must invite His presence into these places that need more thorough conversion.Parishes Supporters Log in.
