BELIEVE IN THE BREAD OF LIFE

Thursday of the Third Week of Easter Year C John 6:44-51 In most birthday party I attended, invited visitors would often wish and pray for a longer life to the birthday celebrator. In today’s gospel what caught my attention is the words uttered by Jesus saying: “…he who believes has eternal life.” Yes, believing in Jesus will give us not only longevity but eternity. If we like to have quality and fantastic life believing in Jesus is the password. Friends, believe in the Eucharist, even though we don’t understand how His Body can become our life-giving food. The Eucharist is the gift of God for us to experience not only longevity but quality life. Let us spent well our earthly journey by receiving Jesus as food to nourish our soul. Today if we desire to live in eternity, I have three fraternal suggestions: first, believe in Jesus. Second, believe in Jesus. Third, believe in Jesus. “I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my Flesh for the life of the world.” Friends, we live only once. If we live right, once is enough. The rewards of eternal life requires an effort. Have faith, believe that beyond what is corporeal, beyond time and beyond measure there is called an eternity promised by Jesus to those who believe in Him- the bread of life. Faith is what makes our life last for eternity. Let us be conscious of eternal life. May God bless us with eternal life. Amen Blessings Fr. Jhack
