Eucharist amid the brokeness…

“The disciples of Jesus recounted what had taken place along the way,
and how they had come to recognize him in the breaking of bread.”

“Who indeed can harm you if you are committed deeply to doing what is right? Even if you should have to suffer for justice’ sake, happy will you be. “Fear not and do not stand in awe of what this people fears.” Venerate the Lord, that is, Christ, in your hearts.”

It can be so difficult when the Lord allows ‘brokeness’…in the world around us, in our families, in our selves. But if we stay focused on the things that are really important. Caring for and protecting those things that the Lord has entrusted to us specifically. Then we gain some perspective. We come to recognize Him and His will for us in all the crazyness and broken pieces. It is now that we ourselves become ‘Eucharist’ and can help to feed others.
