The Bread of Life Today’s Gospel has the crowd asking Jesus three questions. First, “When did you get here,” to which Jesus responds by rebuking them for their failure to grasp his miracle as a “sign,” an occasion to put faith in him. Their second question about accomplishing the “works of God” has Jesus respond that faith is the “work” that God wishes. Many scholars believe this is John’s answer to the faith-works dichotomy emerging in the early Chris-tian community. Faith is the work of God in the believer, John would have us un-derstand. The third question asked by the crowd is a request for a “sign” that would allow them to put faith in Jesus, as the manna in the desert allowed the Isra-elites to put faith in the Lord God. Jesus answers by revealing himself as the “bread of life” that “comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” - Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. First Reading— I will rain down bread from heaven for you (Exodus 16:2-4, 12-15). Psalm The Lord gave them bread from heaven (Psalm 78). Second Read-ing — Put on the new self that has been created in God’s way (Ephesians 4:17, 20-24). Gospel — Whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst (John 6:24-35).

St Vincent de Paul Conference The Gospel tells us “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.” By “listening” we are able to live the gospel. Gospel living is some-thing so simple as taking the time to listen to those who need to spill out their hearts when seeking help. Through your gift to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul your heart becomes a “listening heart” to the hungry, the homeless and the struggling poor.
