As Isaiah promises in the first reading, God looks after those who are hungry, offering "good things to eat and rich food to enjoy." St Paul, in the second reading, is unshakeable in his confidence that nothing - not hardship, not fear, not anything in creation - can separate us from the love of God in Christ.This miracle points beyond itself to something greater still: the Holy Eucharist, where Jesus feeds us with his own body and blood. Whatever we're carrying this week, we can trust that God cares for us body and soul, and that even greater joy awaits us in the kingdom of heaven.
