Hello,

Here in France, the cold is starting to arrive so I am happy to make you and serve you good « Cafés de vie ». If you live somewhere where it’s hot, that’s good too.

It’s soon Christmas, so until then, I offer you bible meditations on the theme: « Hungry for Christ! »

There are, unfortunately, those who are literally hungry and whom the Bible calls us to always take care of.

It is also a call to be hungry for righteousness (Matthew 5:6) and never to be satisfied with injustices and inequalities.

In the Covid-19 epidemic that we are going through and the victims and difficulties it causes, we are called to be hungry for Christ, to turn to him. Several governments in different countries have developed very oppressive and discriminatory measures (compulsory vaccination, health passes, confinement of the unvaccinated…).

There is, here too, matter to be starved for justice!

Jesus was born in a manger. He is the perfect food that fills our souls (Luke 1:46-47).

We live without knowing it, until the day when this basic need is revealed to us. Then we are hungry for God.

Daily life, trials or other things can diminish our « spiritual meals ». Let us then ask Christ to increase our « spiritual stomach. »

Let us be hungry for Christ and welcome his presence and joy!

“who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth food to the hungry” (Psalm 146:7)
