Memorial of St Gregory the Great, Pope and Doctor

1 Corinthians 4:6-15, Ps 145, Luke 6:1-5

Eucharistic hunger

Christ feeds the disciple on the Sabbath walk with bread come down from heaven. The disciple walking 7 days in the world reweaves the Genesis gifts into a seamless garment of earth and sea, vegetation with living creatures, and right relationship between men and women. At the end of each week Christ the High Priest, nourishes the disciple with sanctuary bread (see Hebrews 8:2).
