THE BREAD OF
LIFE
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “I am the living bread that has come
down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live for ever; and the bread
that I shall give is my flesh for the life of the world.” (John 6:44-51)
Reflection. There is the bread of our social relations,
the internet and What’s App. There is the bread of our work and family and way
of life; and the bread of art and music and literature. There are so many ways
we are nourished. The bread of life – that Jesus speaks of – is not just one
more bread. It is the one that takes up all the others and gives context and
meaning and nourishment at our deepest level. That is why people hunger for the
Eucharist: they recognise that it gives meaning to all other “breads” and
brings all to fulfilment.
Prayer. Lord, may we hunger for the bread of
life! Amen
