I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE

“I am the Bread that came down from Heaven,” (John 6:41-51).

Jesus states that He is the Bread of Life. Those who believe in Him will have their spiritual hunger satisfied. When Jesus claims that He is the Bread of Life, He also states that He gives His own flesh, which He gives for the life of the world.

People will never satisfy with anything. The reality is that physical satisfaction is often short lived. Physical satisfaction leaves people empty and needing more. Jesus wants to give people spiritual satisfaction that endures and provides far beyond anything of a physical satisfaction.

In order to live with Christ, we have to die to our worldly way of life and take up His life, a life of forgiveness, goodness, trust and service. If we are grounded in Christ’s unconditional love, we are free to lead like Jesus and love and serve others.

In the Eucharist, the Body and Blood of Christ are the elements that provide our spiritual nourishment and nurture our faith in God. It is alive and requires our active participation in it to carry its meaning into the world.


“Taste and see the goodness of the Lord,” (Ps 34).
