Why bread and wine:

Creator God is also the provider God, provide food and sustenance to the creation (also protector and the facilitator): in the desert: manna and water. Parents who bring up children have also similar responsibility.

5:1-12: 1 Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when
he sat down his disciples came to him. 2 And he opened his mouth and taught
them, saying: 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven. 4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. 5 “Blessed
are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. 6 “Blessed are those who hunger
and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. 7 “Blessed are the
merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. 8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for
they shall see God. 9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called
sons of God. 10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 “Blessed are you when men revile you
and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my
account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven. USCCB

2 Timothy
4:1-8 / Mark 12:38-44
I have finished
the race: I await God’s reward.
In his book Light from the Ancient Past, Jack Finegan cites a
4,000-year-old Egyptian writing. Called the “Prayer of Ani,” it is addressed to
the 42 gods who must decide Ani’s fate after death. Excerpts
from Ani’s prayer read: “I have not stolen. . . .I have not played
the hypocrite. . . .I have not told falsehoods. . . .I gave bread to the
hungry, water to the thirsty, clothed the naked. . . .Enter no complaint
against me.”
