For Gloria and Jaime and anyone else who wonders, From Sleeping with Bread

"This book begins with the image of World War II orphan children sleeping with bread to reassure them that they would eat tomorrow as they did today. Many of them survived the concentration camps only because other prisoners had given their own last piece of bread to these children. Viktor Frankl wrote of how this bread brought not just survival but also hope and interior freedom:

We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number . . . but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of his freedoms--to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.

When we sleep with bread we are empowered to choose our own way under any circumstances. We become like the men and women in the concentration camps who could give others the bread of life they held."

For the bread I need each day! Deo Gratias!
