How do you receive?


In Peru we had various food kitchens that provided food for the hungry. The people came drawn by the bread to eat, but they had a choice as to how to receive:

-Those who were really hungry, they ate what was served, no questions

-Those who ate part of what was served and saved the rest for later, not knowing where the next meal would come from

-Those who were served but took what they were given and shared it with those who needed it more

-Those who looked to see if they liked what was being served and often threw it away, because they did not like the simplicity of it.


We are drawn by the bread of life every time we celebrate Eucharist. How do we receive?
