STRENGTHENED BY THE BREAD OF LIFE Today we resume the "Bread of Life" discourse from John's Gos-pel that began two weeks ago. He makes reference to the Jews' ancestors who ate manna in the desert. These days we would think primarily of Israel wandering in the desert, but faithful Jews would also have known the story of Elijah that we hear today. Strengthened by food and drink in the desert, the angel of the Lord sends him on his forty-day and forty-night journey (the bibli-cal number for a prepara on me). Like the food given to Elijah in the desert, Jesus tells his listeners that he is bread for the life of the world. It is very important that we not stop listening to Jesus a er his promise of eternal life--a marvelous promise, but this "reward" is not the only reason we feast on the Bread of Life. We also come to the table to be made strong for the journey of mis-sion, that the whole world might have life in the fullness of Christ. We are compelled, if we have eaten of the bread of life, to go forth in service to all. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
Second Collec on for the Church in La n America This weekend we will take up the Collec on for the Church in La n America. Many people in La n America and the Caribbe-an do not have access to church programs and ministries be-cause of rural terrain and a lack of ministers. Your generosity makes it possible for them to share in the life of the Church and grow closer to Christ. Please be generous to the second collec-
on! To learn more, visit www.usccb.org/la n-america.
