Today we continue in the Bread of Life discourse, reading John 6:24-35.

The people are seeking out Jesus because He has fed them. They are looking for more food. But as he does so He helps them recognize that the physical hunger they feel corresponds to the spiritual hunger they have. We seek not that which only satisfies the body, but that which satisfies the soul.

The Eucharist is more than just a passing moment. the Eucharist is the presence of Christ enduring with us in our time so that we can prepare to be with Him in eternity.

Lord, give us this bread always. Help us to always be hungry for You in the Eucharist!
