Reflection

Acts 7:51-8:1, John 6:30-35

“I hunger for you!”
“Give us this bread always.” The request of the people revealed the deep hunger in them. What about us? What do we hunger for in our lives?

The greatest challenge is for us to believe that only Jesus can fully nourish us. He is the Living Bread that can nourish our hunger. The money in the bank, the number of cars, the exotic vacations - all these cannot give us the real inner fulfilment. Jesus does not want us to go to other substitutes that cannot give us what we long for. Only Jesus, the true bread from heaven, can fill and nourish our hunger.

Questions for reflection:
1) Do I hunger for Jesus and His unfailing love in the Eucharist? Do I take His presence in the Eucharist for granted?
