Food That Perishes

When the people were seeking Jesus after being fed from the loaves and fish, Jesus addressed them (and us): "Amen, amen, I say to you, you are looking for me not beause you saw signs but because you ate ghe loves and were filled... Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you." (Jn 6: 27). The Jews then ask an unexpected question: "What must we do to perform the works of God?" (Jn 6:28) Jesus tells them (and us) "This is the work of God, have faith in the one he sent." (Jn 6:29).  Amazing how it alway comes back to centering on Jesus. We read in the responsorial psalm. "Happy they who keep the Law of the Lord!" (Ps 119: 1ab).  Following Jesus and his teachings will give us that food that does not perish.  As we are seeing visibly today, money, a good job, a yacht, fancy home..all mean nothing as we look out the window of our lock down bunker longing for liberation..  But light shines within and without when we feast on the food that does not perish:  Jesus himself!
