Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Jesus, the Bread of Life” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaims to the crowd, “I am The Bread of Life”. No one who comes to Me will ever hunger; no one who believes in Me will ever thirst.” Ponder on, “Do we seek and hunger for earthly gratification of our fantasies that do not fulfil us? Jesus, at Holy Communion, will fulfil our life’s deepest desires.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
John 6:30-35
The people said to Jesus, ‘What sign will you yourself do, the sight of which will make us believe in you? What work will you do? Our fathers ate manna in the desert; as scripture says: He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’
Jesus answered them: ‘In all truth I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, it is my Father who gives you the bread from heaven, the true bread; for the bread of God is the bread which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.’
‘Sir,’ they said, ‘give us that bread always.’ Jesus answered them: ‘I am the bread of life. No one who comes to me will ever hunger; no one who believes in me will ever thirst.’
