WAY TO NOURISH OUR BODY
Fresh food and vegetables
Lean proteins
Take it easy on the fat, salt, sugar, preservatives,
processed foods.
These all feed our physical health, growth, fitness
and energy levels.
WAY TO NOURISH OUR MIND
Reading good quality literature provokes our minds to think,
create pictures, construct scenes in our imaginations.
We construct in thoughts and in imagery the scenes that we
have read, perhaps playing them out in our minds, revisiting
them later, exploring alternative storylines.

WAY TO NOURISH OUR SOUL
Bonding and friendship
Time spent with nature, children and animals often feed a
persons’ spirit and inner core.
Finding an inner sense of peace, quiet and comfort is very
healing and supportive.
Meditation, prayer, time in nature and complete stillness
or quiet are ways to feed our spirit.

HOW DOES THE EUCHARIST NOURISH US?
The Eucharist nourishes our soul and out lives.
The body of Christ we receive in Holy Communion
is "given up for us," and the blood we drink "shed for
the many for the forgiveness of sins.”
The Eucharist nourishes us for our Christian
journey
