 Consider 3dly, that the best way to answer the principal intent of this petition, is by making a spiritual communion (as often as we repeat these words, give us this day our daily bread) by a lively faith and hope in Jesus Christ, the true bread of life; by aspiring after him, by love and desire, and by inviting him to come and take full possession of our souls, and to unite them to himself for time and eternity. Happy those souls that frequently in the day communicate in this manner!

Conclude to pray for thy daily bread in such manner as to have ever principally in view this bread of life, and to labour to partake of it daily, at least, by a spiritual communion.
