The Maranatha Icon is a call to pray together as the Body of Christ for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon our human family. Let us pray for purity, repentance, and the restoration of unity among faithful Christians.

The Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes – Giovanni Lanfranco (1582–1647)

Wednesday of this week bears this out. The Church is already reminding us of the centrality of the Eucharist. Remember that Christ is born in Bethlehem—which means in Hebrew “the House of Bread”.

Since the fall of our first parents, mankind has hungered for God. Moses’ provision of manna from heaven to sustain the Israelites during their 40-year trek to the Promised Land was but a prelude to Christ, the new Moses, providing us with the true Bread—himself, on our journey to heaven.

The miracle of the loaves and fishes looks towards the Last Supper, for St Matthew is using Eucharistic language. Jesus “took” the loaves and fish, “gave thanks” to God, “broke” them, and “handed” them to the disciples (cf. Mt 14:19).

While many Christians today celebrate Advent in the weeks preceding Christmas, the early Christians used the expression “Maranatha! “Come, Lord” as a regular prayer throughout the year, especially during their weekly celebration of the Lord’s Supper or Eucharist. The Didache (also called the Teaching of the Twelve Apostles) which is an early Christian manual which dates from the mid or late first century, includes the following prayer and admonition for the weekly celebration:
May your grace come and may this world pass away. Hosanna to the God of David! If anyone is holy, let him approach [the Lord’s Supper/Eucharist]. If anyone is not, let him repent. Maranatha! Amen.
Didache 10,6
