We live this earthly life as though passing through a desert: original sin has rendered it arid, bitter, trying, lonely, where we go poorly clad and malnourished. God's solution is to send us manna, the Bread of Life. Jesus Christ is our Eucharistic Oasis, who gives us refreshment amidst aridity, victory in temptation, clothed in virtue, fed grace upon grace in superabundance. Give your fears, temptations, sorrows, and loneliness to him and he will lead you to the promised land.
