What we eat physically impacts our health, and what we consume spiritually influences our souls. Jeff discusses the importance of taking care of our bodies and highlights the significance of the Word of God and the Eucharist in nourishing our spiritual life. He also provides practical suggestions for maintaining a prayer life that supports optimal spiritual well-being.

Quotes
“Like newborn babes, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up to salvation” (1 Peter 2:2-3)
And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but that man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of God. (Deuteronomy 8:3)
But he answered, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’” (Matthew 4:4)
Not that anyone has seen the Father except him, who is from God; he has seen the Father. Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread which comes down from heaven that a man may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever, and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh.” The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.(John 6:46-55)

Love all your episodes, this hit the spot though. I retired a couple of years ago and it seems I just watch tv. Thank you for your insights.
