Are You Religious?
Pentax Optio S50
"Jesus answered, 'Have you not read what David did when he and his men were hungry? He went into the house of God, and they ate the bread offered to God, although neither he nor his men had the right to eat it, but only the priests. And have you not read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the Temple break the Sabbath rest, yet they are not guilty?
"'It tell you, there is greather than the Temple here. If you really knew the meaning of the words: It is mercy I want, not sacrifice, you would not have condemned the innocent.

and not sacrificae, that pleases You."

St. Paul's first Letter to the Corinthians -
the chalice of benediction which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not communion of the body of Christ?...Brothers and sisters, I have received from the Lord Jesus Christ what I have also handed on to you. That on the night He was betrayed He took bread...
