"Remember, there is One who listens to you, so do not hesitate to pray to Him."~St. Augustine
This Sunday’s gospel reading from John picks up after Jesus has fed the 5,000 and it marks the beginning of a series of dialogues between Jesus and the Jewish crowd which make up what is known as the “Bread of Life Discourse”. The crowd has followed Jesus because he has fed them and they want more. He warns them not to seek food that perishes but food that offers eternal life and then boldly proclaims himself as the bread of life, sent by God, and that spiritual food which provides eternal life. Only Jesus can satisfy our spiritual hunger, the deep, eternal hunger in our hearts for truth, life, and love. As you prepare for Mass this weekend, consider those things that prevent you from experiencing the deep love God has for you and which keep that spiritual hunger from being satisfied.
