Every morning (and constantly throughout the day) our resurrected Lord comes to us and says, "Come, have breakfast". As we know, this is not an invitation to eat physical food (though our Lord does richly provide for our physical needs), but is an invitation to loving prayer with him, which is food for the soul, and reaches its apex in the Holy Eucharist.
I think it is important for us to set some time aside every morning for prayer with the Lord, to have "breakfast" with him. It does not have to be long, but it should be sincere and heartfelt. Let us keep in mind that our Lord wants to converse with us more than we will ever want to converse with him. Any genuine prayer we share with him is always a response to his loving call to us. We never take the initiative with Christ; we are always responders.
Let us keep before us our Lord's love that is stronger than death and dine with him, beginning in the morning and continuing throughout the day.
