The bread of tears in Psalm 80 turns out to be identical to the bread of angels of Psalm 78, for it is when we visit the house of bread & find there the bread of angels, as it is now cooked in ashes, that we weep in repentance, so that our tears produce Christ in our hearts... The bread of tears is indispensable food, for it is none other than the real presence of Christ.

Bonaventure reminds us that cruciformity -- being pierced by the love of God -- is the heart of biblical teaching. Only if we feel the nails of the cross will we also join Christ in his resurrection life. When we embark on divine reading with honesty & integrity, it will yield pain. But surely we rejoice when we remind ourselves that cruciformity means suffering ... with Christ himself.

Paradoxically, it is when we make our home within the temporal flow of words that we find our home within the eternal God who is beyond all words.

Lectio divina carefully navigates between two extremes -- the gnostic impulse & the materialist impulse. The gnostic impulse would have us bypass the particularity of biblical words... The materialist impulse treats Scripture as an object of empirical analysis. We dare not stare ourselves blind looking for the history behind the words, for it is the reality in the words that we are meant to adore & worship.
