Saturday, March 12, 2016 Our Daily Bread
Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about
your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear.
Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?
Matthew 6:25
The
first of five rhetorical questions that compare or contrast greater and lesser
things. This was a typical teaching method of the rabbis.[1]
Why
do we pray to God for daily bread? Because Christ wants us to receive all our
physical blessings with thanksgiving. [2]
Mercifully hear our
prayers, O Lord, and spare all those who confess their sins to you; that those
whose consciences are accuse by sin may by your merciful pardon be absolved;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen[3]
