Thursday of the Third Week of Easter

“Earthly” food does not truly satisfy our hunger. We can’t start eating the bread of life until we stop ordering junk food. Every situation in life, every pain, every fear, every memory, every encounter with people will evoke a hunger pain. What is our response to that onslaught of hunger? Do we seek Jesus to give us earthly food, food which perishes, or do we believe that life comes from above, as a gift?
