18th Sunday in Ordinary Time (B)

“Jesus teaches the crowds that he is the “bread of life”

 1st Reading: Exodus 16:2–4, 12–15,      2nd Reading: Ephesians 4:17, 20–24,       Gospel: John 6:24–35 

In today’s Gospel, the crowd asks Jesus for a sign so that they can believe that he has come from God. This is a curious request, because Jesus has just fed thousands of people with just five barley loaves and two fish. How quickly they seem to have forgotten the wonderful thing that Jesus has done for them. Or, maybe they never recognized the miracle in the first place. Sometimes we just don’t recognize the wonderful things that God has done for us. And, sometimes, we simply forget and ask for further evidence of his love and care. We pray that God will remove our blindness so that we can receive with thanks and praise all the wonderful things that God accomplishes in our lives. Together as a family, reflect on and remember the wonderful gifts that God has given you and some of the remarkable deeds that God has accomplished in our world. Observe that it is important to stop to count our blessings because we can easily miss recognizing all the wonderful things that God does for us. Listen and discern today’s Gospel, John 6:24–35. Ask: Why are the people seeking out Jesus? (because he has fed them) What do they want from Jesus? (a sign that he has come from God) What does Jesus tell them? (He says that he will give them something greater and more important than the bread that fed their physical hungers; he will give them bread that will give them eternal life.) Recall that we have received this gift from Jesus “the bread of life” in the Eucharist. Sisters and brothers let us pray together, thanking God for all that he has given to us, especially for the gift of eternal life and the Eucharist.

God’s Blessings,

Deacon Michael W. Maurice; Worship and Religious Education Ministry.                                                                    Saint Francis Ecumenical Catholic Church. (Lit. Year B).
