The Third Tuesday of Easter

“Sir, give us this bread always.” Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst.”

Jesus is the Bread of Life. He is the spiritual sustenance that fills our hearts, souls, and minds with sanctifying grace. He gives us the graces we need to live in faith, hope, and love. Feeding our bodies may help us survive from day to day, but feeding our spirits help us to live forever with God. We should constantly ask God to give us the Bread of Life. We should constantly seek it in the sacrament of the Eucharist. By doing these things, we will grow in spirit and our virtues will be strengthened. When we partake in communion with God and our fellow Christians, we will never be spiritually hungry or thirsty again.

Do we seek out the bread of life through the blessed sacrament of the Eucharist? How can we become life-giving people? Do we hunger and thirst for righteousness?

O Lord, give us your bread always.

Amen.
