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.”

Reflection:
Is
Jesus the bread of your life? When you
make Jesus the bread of your life you will never go wrong with Him. But how are
you going to make Jesus the Bread of your life? You have to receive Him at Holy
Communion whenever you attend Holy Mass.
You
have to read the life story of Jesus in the Holy Bible and you have to allow
Jesus to transform you. You also have to have a daily quality and quite time
with Jesus every day of your life. In your daily quite and quality with Jesus
you have to allow Him to talk to you.
In our
gospel for today Jesus tells us this, I am the bread of life; whoever comes to
me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst. Jesus
further tells us, I will not reject anyone who comes to me.
This
bread of life discourse of Jesus invites us also to reflect on our own life in
this world. Have we already touched lives? Have we given hope to the hopeless?
Are our hearts always open to help those who come to us? Are our hearts open to
those who ask for our forgiveness? – Marino J. Dasmarinas
