Some food for thought:

"I am the LORD your God,

who brought you up from the land of Egypt.

Open wide your mouth that I may fill it." - Psalm 81:11

I was praying Morning prayer this morning, and this verse stuck out to me. In the middle of this passage about worshiping the LORD, why on Earth would God be telling us to open our mouths that He may fill them?

Of course, then it struck me. What do you put in a mouth? Food and words. So, in an Old Testament sense, this seems to be saying to open your mouth that God may fill it with His Word, that His Word may speak through you.

This becomes even more profound when we tie it to the New Testament. Jesus is both Word and food, the only one who truly fills us.

"Open wide your mouth that I may fill it" suddenly becomes a proclamation of the Real Presence, a promise that Christ, who alone is the Word and the Bread of Life, will enter our mouths and truly fill us with Himself.

Now, get thee to Mass (and Adoration).

I'm praying for you!
