Wednesday, October 23 : Saint Fulgentius of Ruspe

If we wonder what this measure of wheat is, Saint Paul tells us: “It is the measure of faith that God has distributed to you” (Rm 12,3). What Christ calls a measure of wheat, Paul names a measure of faith to teach us that there is no other spiritual wheat than the venerable mystery of the Christian faith. This measure of wheat , we give it to you in the name of the Lord each time, enlightened by the spiritual gift of grace, we tell you according to the rule of true faith. This measure, you receive it by the servants of the Lord every day you hear from the mouth of the servants of God the word of truth. May it be our food, this wheat that God gives usa share. Let’s add the condiment of our good conduct in order to reach the reward of eternal life. Let us believe in the One who gives himself to us as food so that we do not falter on the way, and who reserves Himself as our reward so that we find joy in the Fatherland. Believe and hope in him; Let’s love Him above all and in everything. Because Christ is our food and will be our reward. Christ is the food and comfort of journeying travelers ; It is the satisfaction and the exultation of the blessed in their rest.
