April 27, 2008: Bread – Michael Hidalgo

What is it that we really need? We ask for so much, yet Jesus teaches us to ask only for what we need for that day. We cannot - as he states elsewhere - add a single hour to our lives worrying about tomorrow. The ancient monks had a beggars bowl. They would begin each day by getting enough in that bowl for the day, so that they could spend the rest of the day in devotion to God. Is it possible that too much causes more worry about tomorrow?
