Message of the Week

I Am the Bread of Life

The Eighteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time

“Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst.”

The Jews had trouble accepting Jesus’ words – How could he be the spiritual food that has come down from Heaven?

They knew His earthly father and mother, where He lives, and what He did.  He seemed like one of them.

Jesus was about to reveal one of the central mysteries of our faith to His followers.

It was a mystery so difficult to understand and accept that Jesus would lose some of His followers that day.

Do you accept the mystery of the real presence of Jesus in the gift of the Eucharist?  What does this mean to you?
