In today's Gospel, John 6: 30-35, the crowd asks Jesus for a sign that will help them to believe in Him, as they believed in Moses. Moses, they tell Jesus, "gave them bread from heaven to eat." Jesus sets them straight, saying: "Amen, amen, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave the bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." Obviously, he is talking about Himself. "Sir, give us this bread always." Jesus then reminds them that He is the "bread of life; whoever comes to me," Jesus says, "will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst." How true!
May you and I always go to Jesus in all of our needs, in all of the circumstances of our lives. It is with Jesus and through Jesus that our lives take on the characteristics of our Lord and we, too, give "life to the world" around us!
