1. How do you relate to the crowds who desire bread in this passage?

3. What are the things you don’t have that you find yourself grumbling about?
4. Consider the words of CS Lewis “It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.” How does this resonate with you?
