Bread and "Spiritual Food" (另類享受)

#2024-1216

一邊掰麵包吃,一邊追劇......

重點是:剛出爐的麵包很香,很好吃!看一些不用費腦筋 "思考" 的戲,也很享受!

另一個重點:夫妻一同追劇,並且掰麵包吃——手指頭偶爾動動,就像「心不在焉」似的,嘴巴也輕鬆自然地動;可是,眼睛緊盯著手機銀幕,一動也不動!

事實與反思

麵包是「德國媳婦」做的。哈!「德國媳婦」是我家麵包機、洗衣機......等的統一稱號,雖然不見得是德國製的。「德國媳婦」做了 homemade bread,這剛出爐的 bread 真的好吃,我倆食指大動,不知不覺就把麵包皮都剝光了。

此為「物質食糧」。那麼,「精神食糧」呢?

If bread represents all kinds of "material food," what is our "spiritual food"? Can movies, videos, literature—whether fictional or non-fictional—serve as our spiritual food? Or is the Bible alone our true spiritual food?

These questions remind me of the Post-Communion Prayer, where the phrase "spiritual food" highlights the importance of my spiritual life (or church life):

Let us pray

Celebrant and People

Eternal God, heavenly Father,
you have graciously accepted us as living members
of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ,
and you have fed us with spiritual food
in the Sacrament of his Body and Blood.
Send us now into the world in peace,
and grant us strength and courage
to love and serve you
with gladness and singleness of heart;
through Christ our Lord. Amen.

or the following

Almighty and everliving God,
we thank you for feeding us with the spiritual food
of the most precious Body and Blood
of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ;
and for assuring us in these holy mysteries
that we are living members of the Body of your Son,
and heirs of your eternal kingdom.
And now, Father, send us out
to do the work you have given us to do,
to love and serve you
as faithful witnesses of Christ our Lord.
To him, to you, and to the Holy Spirit,
be honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen.
