Eternal God, You are my Creator, and I am the work of Your hands. In the blood of Your Son You have created me anew; remade by Him, I am Your beloved. Eternal God, limitless and deeper than the sea, what more can You give me than Yourself? An ever-burning fire, You burn away my soul’s self-love. You are the fire that takes away all cold. Your light enables me to know all truth. Your light is above all light, enlightening my mind, making the light of faith clear, perfecting it so I may see my own soul alive, and in this light I receive You – the true Light.

John 6:35-40
Jesus said to the crowds,
“I am the bread of life;
whoever comes to me will never hunger,
and whoever believes in me will never thirst.
But I told you that although you have seen me,
you do not believe.
Everything that the Father gives me will come to me,
and I will not reject anyone who comes to me,
because I came down from heaven not to do my own will
but the will of the one who sent me.
And this is the will of the one who sent me,
that I should not lose anything of what he gave me,
but that I should raise it on the last day.
For this is the will of my Father,
that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him
may have eternal life,
and I shall raise him on the last day.”
Refection: How do I find peace and truth in the gospel just read?

Refection: How do I find peace and truth in the gospel just read?
Do I think about eternal life as a way to everlasting life?
We have all lost someone in our life that we loved and so want to see again, does the gospel today give you that encouragement?
