Our Daily Bread

Our Daily Bread
"This post is by Kevin Pesek, a Campus Ministry Intern at St. Mary's. He and the other interns are guest blogging for us during Lent."

The gospel reading from Mass today was Jesus teaching the apostles the "Our Father" (Matt 6:7-15). This past summer, I had the privilege to make a pilgrimage to Israel. On the Mount of Olives, we visited a French church called the Church of the Pater Noster (see picture) which is dedicated to this teaching of Jesus. One of the priests with our group made this interesting point.

As Catholics, "Give us this day our daily bread" is clearly a reference to the Eucharist we receive at Mass every day. However, in the translation from Greek to English we lose some of the significance of this verse. The word "daily" in "daily bread" does not capture the essence of the original Greek. Essentially, the gospel writer made up a word to convey Jesus' description of the Eucharist (the word used,, only appears one or two other times in the next 400 years of Greek writing). In older translations of the Bible like the Douay-Rheims version, the text says "Give us this day our "supersubstantial "bread." The Eucharist is much more than our "daily" bread; it is necessary and "more than substantial" for our spiritual life.

This has helped inspire me to have a greater love for the Eucharist and to attend daily Mass as often as possible in order to receive it. Let us always thank God for this most precious gift of the Eucharist, and let us pray for a greater appreciation and understanding of this sacrament.

Devil's Kiss


by Sarwat Chadda

Available September 1, 2009

Bilquis SanGreal grew up knowing she would have to make sacrifices to be in the Knights Templar. Sacrifices like losing her mother to the Templar's ongoing battle against the Unholy; sacrifices like trading her childhood in for relentless training; sacrifices that keep her completely isolated from the world of a normal teen girl.

Billi's lone wolf status is challenged when her childhood friend, Kay, returns from his psychic training in Jerusalem. Kay manages to stir things up quickly -- he's gorgeous, arrogant, and wants to slide right back into his old place in Billi's life. Billi is skeptical, but interested, until she meets Michael -- an ethereally handsome guy who seems to understand her like no one before him, and effortlessly stakes a claim in her heart.

Just as Billi's starting to enjoy this pleasant new twist to her life, Kay ruins everything. In a moment of bravado, Kay uses the last of the Templar's treasures, King Solomon's cursed mirror, drawing the attention of one of the most dangerous of the Templars' enemies -- The Angel of Death. Only with the mirror can the dark angel unleash his full powers, and now that he's heard the call of the mirror, he'll stop at nothing to get it. To save London from catastrophe, Billi will have to make sacrifices greater than she'd ever imagined.

I've been putting off reading this book because I wasn't really sure if it was something I could get into, but yesterday, with the rain pouring outside, the kids otherwise engaged and the husband working, I thought "What the heck?"...

Well, I was pleasantly surprised! From the very first page this book is rife with non-stop action. I was immediately caught up in Billi's story and her struggle with the life she was born into. She desperately wants to be a normal teen...enter Michael, he seems to appear just when she needed him, he's perfect. Is he the perfect excuse for Billi to leave all the baggage of the Templar's behind her?

Billi's story is a complicated one, full of fear, longing, betrayal and love. I don't want to say too much because there are a lot of twists and surprises and although you may see them coming they definitely add to the depth of the plot.

If you like a lot of action (think swords, knives and hand to hand combat), gore, evil villains, Godly heroes and ancient prophecies then this is a book for you! Best for 8th grade and up.

PAM KILLEEN - Addiction: The Hidden Epidemic - In the 1980s, Pam collapsed with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and multiple chemical sensitivities, and was forced to learn how to get well on my own. During her recovery, Pam studied nutrition and natural health. Pam saw countless clinicians who had very good intentions, but were dangerously misinformed about health and nutrition. A lot of the health advice Pam received made her much sicker. Consequently, Pam has become very discerning when it comes to any kind of health information she reads or hears about. Pam has university degrees in the areas of languages and education. Because of her health challenges, Pam was unable to pursue a career teaching languages. After recovering from chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and multiple chemical sensitivities, however, Pam decided to teach others how they could get themselves well too. If you simply want someone to manage your disease, Pam can't help you. However, if you are fed up with feeling sick and tired, and truly want to get well, then Pam can help you help yourself get well. - www.pamkilleen.com
