To break bread means, literally, to share a loaf of bread at a meal. It symbolizes mutual love in the inner meaning of the Word. (Arcana Coelestia 5405)

In Matthew 14:19, this signifies a mutual sharing of love. (Arcana Coelestia 5405)

In John 6:31-35, this represents the Lord, Who is heaven itself, and all love and charity by which man lives. (Arcana Coelestia 2165[4, 5])
