A man had just arrived in Heaven, told Peter how grateful he was to be in such a glorious place, and asked Peter to give him one glimpse into Hades in order that he might appreciate his good fortune even more.
This Peter did.
In Hades he saw a long table extending as far as the eye could reach, laden down with the most delicious of all varieties of foods.
But everyone around the table was starving to death.
When asked for an explanation, Peter said, “Everyone is required to take food from the table only with four-foot-long chopsticks.
They are so long that no one can reach the food from the table to his mouth, and therefore each one is dying of starvation.”
Quickly they returned to Heaven, and behold, the new arrival saw an identical table, laden down with identical foods, but everyone around the table was happy and well fed.
Then he said to Peter: “With what do they take the food from the table?” and Peter answered, “Only with four-foot-long chopsticks.”
At that the new arrival inquired: “Then why are all those in Hades starving to death while all those up here are so well fed and happy?”
Whereupon Peter replied: “In Heaven we feed each other.”
Blessed Lord, You have caused all Holy Scriptures to be written for our learning.
Grant that we may so hear them, read, mark, learn, and take them to heart that, by the patience and comfort of Your holy Word, we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life.
… through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
What does this mean?
The day before Good Friday is called “Maundy Thursday,” so-called from the Latin “dies manda’ti” (the day of Christ’s great mandate).
That day, after He had washed His disciples’ feet, He said, “A new commandment give I unto you, that ye love one another” (John 13:34).
