Welcome to our daily Rosary meditation. Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for.

How should we best feed our soul with our free time?

That's what we've been meditating on recently.

God in his wisdom and generosity has made us creatures of body and soul and perhaps the most

repeated reminder that we are body and soul is the fact that we have to eat like the beasts three times a day.

But even if we eat like the beasts, we're not supposed to eat like beasts.

We're supposed to eat like beasts.

We're supposed to eat like images of God.

Table manners, utensils, graves before meals,

and an appreciation for cooking and eating together at fixed times

as a sign of love with hospitality and family and friends and good conversation.

That's what we're supposed to do.

The lower animals, they don't do that.

The way we eat is supposed to be a sign of what we are. Eating is meant to

nourish the soul as well as the body. In fact, eating is so important that God

has chosen to come to us in the most holy, most intimate

manner of all through the Holy Eucharist. The church teaches that the source and summit of the Christian life involves eating and sipping from a cup.

So are we eating in a way that corresponds to our dignity as human beings and as

Christians? Or are we eating like beasts? Our father who are beasts.

Our Father who art in heaven, hollow it be your name. Thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us to stay our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil,
