Pondering…

the story of the Last Supper in John’s Gospel and came to the passage where Jesus identifies his betrayer by giving him (Judas) a piece of bread. On receiving the bread the text says that the devil entered into Judas. Later, of course, the remaining disciples would also receive bread from Jesus’ hands, but this time the bread filled them with his presence. Two breads given by the same hand with remarkably different results. Jesus grant me the bread that fills me with your life.
