Tuesday 3rd Week of Eastertide Gospel Reading – John 6:30-35
Jesus said to the crowds, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst. But I told you that although you have seen me, you do not believe.
Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and I will not reject anyone who comes to me, because I came down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me.
And this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose anything of what he gave me, but that I should raise it on the last day. For 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 Gospel of the Lord
The Mass intention is for J, A & FIn the gospel, Jesus proclaimed He is the bread of life. Yes He is the bread of our lives.
Just as Jesus is the bread of life for us, we too are to be the bread of life for others, so that their hunger and thirst in life will be fulfilled.
Yes, witnessing for Christ is as personal as that – to be the bread of life for others.
• Have you ever reached out to someone who is spiritually hungry and offered him or her the bread of life, Jesus?
• How are you the ‘Bread of life’ for others?
