Liturgy Corner Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time Proverbs 9:1-6 You Are What You Eat You are what you eat. People who reflect on their diet learn a lot about themselves. They discover their passions and temptations. They learn what they will not tolerate and what they cannot avoid. They discover the effect their choice of food has on others. It may hurt the family farmer and help global distributors. People who do not eat healthy food pay a price more dearly than the grocery bill. You are what you eat. The Book of Proverbs envisions divine Wisdom as a woman who has prepared a lavish meal. She has built a house and spread a table within it. She invites to this table not those who are hungry for physical food, but those who are simple. Those who lack understanding may come to this meal. Those who dine at Wisdom s table nourish their mind, not their belly. The meal we share at church is small: a bit of bread, a sip of wine. But this food and drink is much more. It is the Body and Blood of Christ, the source of all wisdom. When we make the Eucharist a part of our lives, we grow in wisdom. We make room for God. When we eat the bread of life, we become what we eat. We are the Body of Christ. Written by Paul Turner. Copyright 2008, Resource Publications, Inc., 888-273-7782, www.rpinet.com.
