God sustained the people of Israel for forty years in the desert with manna sent down from heaven, and Moses doesn’t want them to forget it. God brought forth water from stone for them to drink, and Moses doesn’t want them to forget this, either. And Moses tells them—twice—that the food that God sent was a food that neither they nor their an-cestors before them had ever experienced before.
Jesus too speaks of food come down from heaven, food that the Jewish people had never experienced before. Recalling the manna in the desert, Jesus doesn’t want them to forget it either, explaining that he is the food and drink of eternal life. And Paul reit-erates to the Corinthians and to all of us that in the bread and in the cup, we share in the body and blood of Christ.
Support for St. Bartholomew’s Church We encourage our parishioners to join “We
Share” (found on our web site: www.barts.org). We can also provide Sunday envelopes to parishioners
if that is easier—please call the Parish office at 650-347-0701. Like many organizations, we are feeling the pinch of lowered weekly offerings. We thank all of our parishioners for their generosity and on
going support..
