Reflect
Today, reflect on this passage where the word firstfruits appears: “But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep” (1 Cor 15:20). What images, thoughts, and feelings arise pondering Christ as the firstfruit?
Pray
God, I thank you for the bounty of all you have given me,
especially how your words reveal the beauty and mystery of Christ.
There’s abundance—infinite abundance—in all you offer.
Even with one single word, like fruit, you can fill me.
Act
As you go through your day, notice what words of comfort and faith you are drawn to. “Steadfast,” “mercy,” “Magnificat.” There are so many—a windfall that keeps nourishing us.
