FFF in Rome

Mar 5, 2015

This week Food For Faith is made in Rome during an unexpected and grace-given visit. While I will continue to upload to this Food For Faith website, the more regular and informal postings will be to the Food For Faith Facebook space. If you “LIKE” Food For Faith at that page you can receive regular updates.

This morning’s video reflections at the Food For Faith Facebook page include an early morning reflection over coffee, and a comment at the conclusion of this morning’s Wednesday audience with Pope Francis in St. Peter’s Square.

A more official and substantial summary of the pope’s reflection can be found at this link.

I try not to repeat these daily Lenten posts year to year but there are times when the same scriptures pop up annually and I realise that I can’t write it better than I did last year. Today is one such day, not only because of the thought I share but even more in the comments that are added by FFF readers. Today I have left some of last year’s comments helping us to appreciate the power of today’s readings.

The heart of the home in years past was the hearth.
It was at the hearth that the family gathered for the warmth and light of the flame and the food that was prepared there.
The fire was treated with respect since the same flame which provided energy for the home could just as easily destroy it.

I’m not sure if children today are told the great story of the Emperor’s New Clothes, but if not let’s make sure that the parable is taught at all schools of higher learning.

A few years ago I discovered the wonderful way that God uses my imagination in my prayer.
Such openness to imagination when seeking God does not take us away from reality into fantasy but instead brings me into what is most real and inescapably personal and intimate.
