270. What do we mean by "daily bread"?
"Bread" is a biblical way of summarizing all that we need to sustain our lives on earth.
Isaiah 55:2 Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to Me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food.
Note: "This petition includes everything that belongs to our entire life in the world" (LC III 73).
