More Than Bargained For

(Note:  I will be in West Virginia and later in Pittsburgh until Sunday...Not sure of my access to the internet.  But God always provides)

Looking for a sign (and a handout) the crowd asked Jesus, "What sign can you do that we may see and believe in you?  What can you do?" (Jn 6:30)....Hoping for daily bread, as their ancestors had received in the desert, Jesus offers them the "true bread" from heaven..which he eventually reveals is HIMSELF.  They asked for it, but expected some miraculous earthly bread that we replenish itself day after day....Not so.  The true Bread from Heaven is much more than that: his Body and Blood....Too much for some to swallow (sorry!), but indeed the bread that gives eternal life. How blessed are we to have it daily on our altars...How it pleases God when we receive it as often as we can.  "I am the bread f life; whoever comes o me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst." (Jn 6:45).  What is keeping us from coming to the table daily, or even a bit more than once a week?
