TOPIC: WHAT CHANGES CAN I MAKE TODAY TO GROW CLOSER TO JESUS?
First Reading: Exodus 16: 2-4, 12-15
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 78: 3-4, 23-24, 25, 54
Second Reading: Ephesians 4: 17, 20-24
Alleluia: Matthew 4: 4b
Gospel: John 6: 24-35
In today's gospel, Jesus tells them they seek Him not because they saw miracles but because they ate the loaves and were full. He urges them to seek the "food that endures to eternal life." He offers, and proclaims He is the "bread of life." Jesus explains that those who come to Him will never hunger or thirst spiritually.
May we be encouraged and inspired by the life of Saint Benedict of Nursia who was focused on pursuing the food that endures eternal life.
This is the 1561st installment of our CFC contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings.
[NOTE: Let us listen to our brother Israel Silud, Regional Coordinator for East Asia, as he brings us today's reflection.
All the regular reflections are between 3-7 minutes long, enough time for us to ponder what God's message is for us individually and to pray that we may live them out in our lives. This video is also available on Couples for Christ’s Facebook page. In You Tube, just type ONLY BY GRACE REFLECTIONS]
