sauce pasta bread and wine Cheap but good especially when shared with friends Jesus of Montreal The film by Arcand is available from your local video store Solitude The habit though perhaps not easily acquired is nevertheless worth pursuing Also very cheap The book is by Anthony Storr and is available in paperback at a reasonable price Two other books both available at your library which are dynamite when mixed with this summers scripture readings are The Rituals of Din ner by Margaret Visser and The Beauty Myth by Naomi Wolf Scriptural Overview The main theme for the rest of the summers readings then is bread the breaking of it and the various layers of meaning that surround it Both Margaret Visser and Naomi Wolf also write about bread and the various symbolic levels of bread in their new books Naomi Wolf writes about bread in connection with dieting She writes Food is the primal sym bol of social worth Whom a socie ty values it feeds well She notes that the etymology of com panion is with and bread those who break bread together Margaret Visser adds to this material breaking bread and sharing it with friends means friendship itself and also trust pleasure and gratitude in shar ing Oddly enough Margaret Visser ends up moving from a discussion of bread to a discussion of can nibalism The same move is made by John in his account of the dialogue between Jesus and the people Jesus is misunderstood What do you mean Eat my flesh Come away to a lonely place This is what Jesus says to the disciples in todays reading when they return from their circuit of preaching and healing Constant ly throughout the gospels Jesus goes off by himself to the wilderness In the Bible deserted places are where new visions of reality occur It is in deserts that New Cities and New Worlds are conceived But in todays reading the peo ple wont let him go alone They follow Jesus and the disciples into the wilderness Mark records the compassion that Jesus has for these people who are like sheep without a shepherd Mark is set- I Bible Digest Then were there brought unto him little children that he should put his hands on them and pray and the disciples rebuked them Matthew Id 13 Are you keeping people from coming to Jesus by your actions or words If so repent and be a disciple that brings people to Jesus There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life as I was with Moses so I will be with thee I will not fail thee nor forsake thee Joshua God is faithful He will always be there for His own Do you know the Lord Then said one unto him Lord are there few that be saved And he said unto them Strive to enter in at the strait gate for many I say unto you will seek to enter in and shall not be able Luke Salvation is not something to take for granted Trust the Lord today Tomorrow may never come Religion and Reality by Jim Ryan ting us up for a comparison bet ween Moses and Yahweh and Jesus Jesus will lead the people into a new Promised Land John takes this theme further in the next few weeks with references to manna and different kinds of bread Solitude If you can get a chance to be alone this summer The kids are asleep the dog has been fed dont be afraid Anthony Storr writes that our society puts stress on companionship and relation ship but thats only half of the equation He writes that solitude and acquiring a taste for it is
