A MEAL WE MUST NEVER MISS
Friday in the Octave of Easter
Jn 21:1-14
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You should never miss it. But perhaps there are times when for one reason or another you are missed by the breakfast table.
Breakfast is not simply eating anything at the start of the day. Nutritious meal should be what your breakfast is. Fruits and cereals are my favorites. But sometimes they are not available at the breakfast table.
Breakfast is not at eleven o’clock in the morning or anytime beyond that. If you have your breakfast too late in the morning, quite certain you will forgo lunch because you simply have lost your appetite. But we know what “brunch” means and how it has changed the breakfast table.
Bible scholars and theologians say that after the Resurrection, all the meals that Jesus took with His disciples were Eucharistic. In short, Jesus was actually celebrating Mass with His disciples.
As Jesus prepared breakfast for His disciples, we may well remember three things. First, the Eucharist is the most important meal of the day. Never spend the day without it. Second, the Eucharist is the most nutritious meal there is. It gives us eternal life. Third, whenever possible, the Eucharist is best to be the first schedule of the day.
Everyday the Risen Lord waits for us at the table. We may come in the morning, at noon, or in the evening. Whatever time we come to the table of the Lord, it is always like breakfast because it is the most important meal of the day, it is the most nutritious meal for our immortality, and is the meal of all meals.

Lord Jesus, being with you at the Eucharist completes my day! I strive hard to attend a mass and have a meal with you but there are times that i cannot find time. Bless me that i will always strive hard to fix my day to have an important meal in my life and that's the breakfast with you my God.
God bless po...
