One Bread, One Body - Reflection for May 4, 2024

DAILY BREAD

"The congregations grew stronger in faith and daily increased in numbers." –Acts 16:5

The early Church grew in numbers daily. "Day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved" (Acts 2:47). The early Church grew daily because:

The Lord promises to give us daily bread (Mt 6:11) if we will live in Him daily (see Jn 15:5). Receive your daily bread. Receive the Lord.

PRAYER: Father, may every day of the rest of my life be a sacrifice pleasing to You (see Rm 12:1).
PROMISE: "The reason it hates you is that you do not belong to the world. But I chose you out of the world." –Jn 15:19
PRAISE: Two of Sarah's five children accepted the call to enter into religious life.
