John 6, 30-35:
“I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never thirst”.
Pope Benedict XVI once told us that Christianity is not an ideology, but a personal encounter with Jesus Christ.
This encounter is the only one that completely changes our life.
We hold on to norms. We cling to cults. But we do not cling to Jesus.
Hence many of us are “anaemic Christians”. We eat a lot of “breads” and are apparently and for a moment satiated.
But we do not come forward to eat the true BREAD OF LIFE which is Christ Himself.
He is the answer to our hunger and thirst for righteousness, happiness and love.
Put Jesus at the centre of your life. Come as often as you can to the Eucharist and always eat of that BREAD that gives life to you and to the whole world.
Repeat many times today that prayer that the people addressed to Jesus: “Lord, give us always of this bread”.
Good day.
