Bread On Palm Sunday 2023

I In church, decor by Desiree Seymour Jesus rose up again, we sang with gusto There followed communion, bread and wine Thoughts: He, bread of life ; we, bread too! If he were a loaf, Jesus, THE PERFECT One Broken so we all might partake of His perfection (God seeing his blood, not my sin) II There is much awry in South Africa The disease (dis-ease) make all money chasers Funerals are bigger than weddings here Because neighbors sell their ID copies To other wiser neighbors: "Yes, buy a policy - And help with my funeral." Banks write these; Cell phone providers sell it: "insurance business" No limit on number of covered persons. No relations- test Another use of the bread? Our bodies here? I cancelled one I bought with a church friend When I suspected I was being stressed (to die quick?) Evidence of pilfering abound; I still found A way to cut through this, write of Perfect Bread -- Praying to move out of my church friend's home! NOTE: I struggle to stay positive in my township, once I return "home" from church. This offering on Palm Sunday almost didn't see the light of day. Too much about! Yes, it is scary. "Civilization" mortgaged to money? Thank you Jesus, we got through. Hosanna!

Sorry to of the suffering still going strong there, Valsa said it like I would have liked to. Life insurance, can one trust in this? Nothing it seems is best for us but what is best for the elites. Communion, take the bread of Christ-In the name of the father, the son, and of the holy spirit. Amen

I feel sorry to read the second part. People have only monetary interests . In everything, money is the only thing that matters. Every event is turned into a grand function involving so much of money... even funerals, making life so much stringent especially for the poor. Great observation of contemporary life with no thought for the salient needs of the soul. Stay blessed brother Anil
