At the Last Supper Jesus gave us the gift of the Holy Eucharist.

Psalm 34: 18-21

When the just cry out the Lord hears them and from all their distress he rescues them

The Lord is close to the broken hearted
And those who are crushed in spirit he saves

Many are the troubles of the just man
But out of them all the Lord delivers him

He watches over all his bones

Not one of them shall be broken

What Did Jesus Do?

A while back; a wrist band with the initials "WWJD" was very popular. It was to remind us when we acted to think first, " What Would Jesus Do." I believe we should now focus on "WDJD" or "What Did Jesus Do." Maybe we should focus on "What Jesus Did Not Do." He did not call down an army of angels to destroy His persecutors; instead He did say,"Father forgive them..." He told us to feed the hungry, cloth the naked, help the oppressed. I can see a world where people help one another, love one another and look for Jesus in one another. All we have to do is forget about material things and focus on "What Did Jesus Do."  He died on the Cross to save the whole world; you and me.  Lord I pray:

Fill me with your love so that I might love.
Cleanse me of my sins.
 Help me to forget about gaining more things and to remember others
 who are in need.
When I am full remind me of those who are hungry.
When I am warm remind me of those who are cold.
When I have a home remind me of those who are homeless.
When I am angry at someone teach me to forgive.
Lord teach me to look for you in my brothers and sister.
And let me always remember what You did.
                                                                                                Amen
