Jesus is given to the world. He was chosen, blessed, and broken to be
given. Jesus' life and death were a life and death for others. The
Beloved Son of God, chosen from all eternity, was broken on the cross
so that this one life could multiply and become food for people of all
places and all times.


As God's beloved children we have to
believe that our little lives, when lived as God's chosen and blessed
children, are broken to be given to others. We too have to become bread
for the world. When we live our brokenness under the blessing, our
lives will continue to bear fruit from generation to generation. That
is the story of the saints - they died, but they continue to be alive
in the hearts of those who live after them - and it can be our story
too. - Henri Nouwen
