On the Horizon: Encounter with Him
Sunday's Gospel reading draws from the Bread of Life discourse in which Jesus instructs us to work for the food that endures rather than food that perishes. Pope Francis gives us this perspective: "Jesus does not eliminate the concern and search for daily food. No, he does not remove the concern for all that can make life more progressive. But Jesus reminds us that the true meaning of our earthly existence lies at the end, in eternity, it lies in the encounter with Him, who is gift and giver. He also reminds us that human history with its suffering and joy must be seen in a horizon of eternity, that is, in that horizon of the definitive encounter with Him." (Angelus, 2 August 2015)
