Reflection
Proverbs 9:1-6, Ephesians 5:15-20, John 6:51-58
“Nourished in order to Give”
Today as always, people hunger for God. We are in the world in order to be bridges to connect God to people, and people to God. We, as a student, a parent, a retiree, a worker, etc, can bring God’s life through the concrete options we make, the lifestyle we live, the jobs we do, the words we say.

Today, Jesus invites each of us to be nourished once more by “this living bread that has come down from heaven.’’ Jesus is our source of nourishment as we face this arduous but beautiful mission of bringing God to the people we meet and encounter.

Question for reflection:
1) How can I live with more awareness that I am sent to bring the Good News of God’s love to the people I encounter each day?
