Fourth Sunday in Lent, March 30th, 2025

In the Sixth Chapter of St. John's Gospel we begin by hearing of the "Feeding of the Five-Thousand."  Of course, this is where Our Lord takes a few small loaves of bread and a  few small fishes and is able to feed five thousand people.  But, you see, the story doesn't end there as we continue reading further in this chapter.  Because we find out that many of these five thousand who ate of the loaves and fishes followed Our Lord seeking for Him.  And in Verse 26 of this chapter Our Lord says to them:  "Ye seek Me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled."  You see, dear friends, as Our Lord testifies in this chapter He is the Bread of Life.  "I am the Bread of Life; He that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth of Me shall never thirst." (St. John 6:35)  And Our Lord continues in Verse 51:  "I am the living bread which came own from Heaven: if any man eat of this bread; he shall live forever; and the bread that I will give is My Flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."  Our Lord gives of Himself.  Our Lord sustains us . . .. He nourishes us . . . . He feeds us with HIs own Precious Body and Blood.  So often we think the things of the world give us "life."  But we know that the things in this world fade away.  But whoever seeks Our Lord will never be disappointed.  He gives us life.  He sustains us.  He nourishes us.  He is our salvation.
