Two angels were working together in Heaven’s kitchen, each preparing a special loaf of bread that -- when all said and done -- was destined to become part of the Bread of Life.
As such, when came the right time, their light-giving nourishment would be shared with some spiritually receptive human being... that he or she might one day join them, and work with them in the angelic realm. Thus it was, is, and always will be, as ordained by the will of the Divine.
And when both loaves of bread were prepared, as ordained, the angels carefully placed them into the oven. But after they had been in there for a while... one of them started complaining saying to the other, “I have to get out of here... I can’t stand the heat."
A moment passed, and the other loaf of bread responded, in soft, but very firm tones:
