As Jesus said, "Father, into your hands, I commend my spirit," Stephen also prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." He then prayed and asked the Lord not to hold the sin against them. The message is that Jesus' followers should adopt His attitudes.
Today, the Risen Lord continues to live in and through us, His followers. He invites us to receive Him as our Bread of Life and live by the guidance of His Spirit.
When we come to Him in the Eucharist, we receive spiritual nourishment and strength to live by His example. Jesus says, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger."
