Bread of Life II

We continue with the bread of life discourses in John's Gospel. Today we read from John 6:35-40. As Jesus says to the crowd, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst." Then he goes on to tell the people that he has come, not to do his will, but the will of the One who sent him. Our Lord says, "This is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him on the last day." The will of God is to proclaim the Good News and to believe in the Son whom He sent as Savior of the world. God the Father has given us the resources we need to live His will in our lives: our faith, our prayer life, the Eucharist, and many other gifts and blessings. Let us come to the table and partake of the Body and Blood of Christ for it is our spiritual food that nourishes us and sustains us on our journey. May our faith and belief be strengthened as we live the will of God in our lives. Have a blessed day!!!
