   "Who do you say that I am?" Twenty-four people from across the Diocese of St. Cloud selected a word or phrase that represents who Jesus is to them and have written a reflection on their chosen word — one for each day of the Advent season. #13 - Dec. 13: "While there are many different breads in grocery stores today there is nothing like Jesus’ 'Bread of Life.' At the Last Supper, Jesus held bread in his hands and said to his disciples, 'I am the bread of life. I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world' (John 6:48,51). As Catholics, we are truly blessed that eating his “Living Bread” can satisfy the hunger in our hearts for a spiritual relationship with him forever." — Sheila Ballweg-Pulju, St. Boniface Parish, Cold Spring #advent #advent2019  "Who do you say that I am?" Twenty-four people from across the Diocese of St. Cloud selected a word or phrase that represents who Jesus is to them and have written a reflection on their chosen word — one for each day of the Advent season. #12 - Dec. 12: "Jesus, the loving, observant Messiah, the storyteller who noticed the poor widow’s penny, the farmer sowing seeds, the lilies in the fields, the blind man by the roadside, the grieving widow, Zacchaeus sitting in a tree, a boatload of frightened fisherman, a stressed hostess, a little child, a searching teenager, a hungry crowd, an unscrupulous judge, money changers, tax collectors, the faithful, the grieving, the lost sheep, the racist, the sinner, the ordinary, the competitive, the betrayer. All are welcome, all are loved, all are invited into the kingdom if they so choose, believe and follow. The gift is ours." — Benedictine Sister Joyce Iten, St. Benedict’s Monastery, St. Joseph #advent #advent2019
