During these summer months, we kindly remind our parishioners to maintain a spirit of devotion and modest attire as they come to Mass so that by our external and internal preparation we may welcome with great joy the King of all into our hearts.

The people of Israel show in the First Reading how difficult it was for them to allow God to lead them on their journey from slavery to the Promised Land. They complain and long for the old days “as we sat by our fleshpots and ate our fill of bread” in Egypt. How easily they forgot what the Lord had done for them! Despite their ingratitude, God never abandoned them. Instead, God gave them manna, “bread from heaven,” as the Responsorial Psalm says. The Gospel continues John’s narrative, setting the stage for a discourse in which Jesus explains the symbolism and significance of the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand. He challenges his hearers about their motivations. They followed him because they focused on the material gift he had given them—namely, bread to eat. Instead, Jesus focuses on the deeper spiritual meaning they should seek, “the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you.” When they point to the gift of manna their ancestors ate in the desert, Jesus reminds them that it was not Moses who gave them manna, but the Father who “gives you the true bread from heaven.” When Jesus says “I am the bread of life,” he shows how the manna in the desert foreshadowed his own coming. “I am” is a way Jesus identifies himself with God, claiming his divinity. He speaks in the manner of God in the Old Testament where “I am” is God’s name (Exodus 3:14). As “the bread of life,” Jesus is the one who gives bread that is eternal life. Real hunger can only be satisfied through a personal relationship with Jesus. What does the image of “fleshpots of Egypt” convey to you? Reflect on how the Old Testament miracle of the manna in the

desert foreshadows the feeding of five thousand. How would you explain that to someone outside the faith?

How do you see the Sacrament of the Eucharist nourishing you

on your journey of life? And how does it offer you a foretaste of the eternal life that is to come?
