The Cooking of the Risen One: The Spirituality of Food
Listen now
Description
The Gospels show the special attention Jesus pays to his own and other people's Hunger and reveal how being hungry is the good news branded on the human flesh and deserves to be highly considered. But God's pecularity also emerges from the matter of food that He - putting Himself above the Law and the Prophets - declares to be uncontaminated. The Gospels gently introduce the Son of God through a scarcely regarded detail: the action of cooking. What does this simple action, which distinguishes men from any other living being, tell us about the Son of God? And what do the Gospels suggest about the risen Christ when they tell He cooked bread and fish? What idea of the risen body do the Gospels let us imagine?
