Prayer Prompt before reading JN 6:44-51 Come, Holy Spirit, teach me how to pray, interpret the Scriptures for me so that I may know the Truth about who God the Father is and God the Son so that I may know who I am.
“THE BREAD THAT I WILL GIVE IS MY FLESH FOR THE LIFE OF THE WORLD.” JN 6:51
Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.
“I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate manna in the desert, but they died; this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread I will give is my Flesh for the life of the world.” Jn 6:44-51
God is found in communion. God is joy and we are a result of Him overflowing with joy. We are a result of love. Love wills the good of the other and does something about it. God is love and ALWAYS wills our good. Adam and Eve broke this joy by not trusting, so God set out to reconcile Himself with His creation. He does this through a sacrificial meal. The Old Testament sacrificial meal comes to us at Passover.
God instructed Moses and the people to eat bitter herbs (to remind them of their bitter slavery) and unleavened bread (they were in a hurry to get away so they did not have time to let the bread rise), and a roasted lamb (daubed the blood on the doorposts so the angel of death would pass over their homes). God later feeds them with manna in the desert.
The new sacrificial meal or new Passover is Jesus Christ. Isaiah prophesies that “He will be like a sheep led to slaughter.” Today, Jesus teaches us He is the bread of life and we must eat His Flesh to have eternal life. Jesus has made a host for us everyday. Go to Mass as often as possible and be in full communion with God. This is the way God has chosen to give Himself to us from the Last Supper until He returns.
Most importantly, as Bishop Robert Barron puts it, “Jesus just wants to be our friend. He wants to set around the supper table and have a great conversation.” The supper table is the altar, God calls all of us together to it each Sunday, and Jesus feeds our souls for the journey. Thank you, Jesus!
Today’s challenge: Allow Jesus to be your friend! Talk to Him every day about everything. There is nothing more that He wants than to be your best friend. How do you develop a friendship? Spend time with them. Find a place to make a habit of spending time talking to Jesus and learning about Him in the Scriptures. Read one of the 4 Gospels all of the way through. It will only take a few minutes each day of your time and it might be the biggest conversion experience you will ever have.

#Christian YODO (You Only Die Once; we will live again!)
“THE BREAD THAT I WILL GIVE IS MY FLESH FOR THE LIFE OF THE WORLD.” JN 6:51. Something that stood out to me about this is that Jesus is saying that the bread he gives us is not bread but his flesh of the world.
This is saying that we not only need to act like a Catholic, we need to believe in Jesus and his teachings.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus tell us that whoever believes will have eternal life with Him. If we choose to not believe, we won’t have a good relationship with the Father. If we trust in God, we will have a good relationship with Him. We need to let God take the wheel. That means we need to trust in his plans for us. If we do, we will be with Him in paradise!
God wants us to go to Mass and be with Him forever!
“whoever believes has eternal life”
He doesn’t want us to be by ourselves in this life and He wants us to believe. God is “the living bread that came down from heaven” and He will always be no matter what!
In today’s Gospel, Jesus talks about His flesh being the bread of life. We eat this bread every week during Mass. He gave His flesh so that we can live with Him forever in heaven.
“I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever” This stuck out to me in the gospel today because it reminds us that the sacrament of communion is the greatest and most special sacrament we can receive.
We can’t always just be doing the bare minimum and expect to be great. If someone were to not practice basketball, how could they be like Mike? This is exactly what our faith is. If we don’t pray every day and make it a habit of showing others just how much you love Jesus, we won’t make it to heaven. So pray today that we can all practice our faith like real Catholics.
Jesus gives a strong and compelling speech in the Gospel today. He talks about how he is the bread of life and that He came down from heaven for the purpose of bringing salvation to the hearts of as many as possible.
I really like this Gospel because it gives closure. If someone close to me was struggling with believing in the real presence I would tell them to read this passage. It states “I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died; this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die.” He tells us that he IS the bread of life, those who believe will have eternal life. Whenever we receive communion, we are 10x closer to God than we are everyday, we are receiving him. When we receive communion, we need to remember the real meaning of it, its not a symbol, its the flesh of Christ.
Today’s Gospel talks about how, Jesus is the bread of life. If you do not believe in him, you will not have eternal life. He is the way of life. The way of eternal life. Follow him and you will never suffer again.
Jesus is the bread of life. Whoever seeks him will find him, not that you will see him but hear him and know him. The only thing Jesus wants of you is to have a relationship with him. A relationship with no communication, that is only one sided is not a relationship at all. Jesus calls us to be apart of a relationship with him but if we do not truly seek him out of everything there is no relationship or eternal life. And there will be a time when there is no going back no second chances.
It was telling me to go to mass almost every day when I’m able to go, and take in God’s body.
In today’s reading it really stuck out to me that God is found in communion, he is the bread of life that was given to us to save us from the dead. Whoever eats my flesh will not hunger, whoever drinks my blood will not thirst. This shows how God loves you and how he sacrificed his body for you to eat. God is love and he is joy. This is the bread that comes down from heaven and if you eat it you will not die. Share the gift of communion with those that you love with your whole heart. Whoever eats my flesh will live forever and never be hungry again up in heaven. God is love and he will always be good with his heart. Let him be your friend because he has saved you. Have a good rest of your day!!! God loves you so much!!! God Bless!!! Viva Cristo Rey!!
In today’s Gospel, it talks about how if you eat the bread that came down from Heaven will have eternal life. You eat the bread of life and you while have eternal life in Heaven with God. Now that is one heck of a promise, yet he stills goes through with it. Though back then, people thought he meant literally. Literally eat his flesh and you will live forever on earth. NO! He means take his trust and love and follow him to the ends of the earth. He loves you and that will not change, don’t take it for granted.
“THE BREAD THAT I WILL GIVE IS MY FLESH FOR THE LIFE OF THE WORLD.” JN 6:51 what this means to me is that we receive Jesus body through church and we receive him almost everyday he spreads his body so we can have eternal happiness with him in heaven He give us his body to save us from sin and so we have a good relationship with him and so we can live in pray and hapiness
What stood out to me was this “I am the bread of life.” I don’t really know why but this is what stood out.
We must always put work into our faith. If we are okay with being just okay and working half effort how can we expect to be the best in our faith. If we stop putting effort into our faith we fall away and get worse in our faith.
Jesus is saying that God the Father invites people to follow him, and this faith is a special gift rather than something you do on your own. He calls himself the “bread of life,” meaning he is the food that gives you life, unlike physical food that only keeps you going for a little while. By believing in him and receiving him, you are connected to God forever and will be raised up on the last day. Basically, Jesus is saying he is the only one who can truly satisfy your soul’s deepest hunger and give you everlasting life
The Gospel talks about how if you believe, you shall have eternal life. It also talks about the manna in the dessert. The people ate it and still died. Jesus is the Bread of Life; if we believe, we shall have eternal life.
In today’s gospel, Jesus tells everyone that on the last day he will raise from the dead. It was written by the prophets that we will be taught by God. If we believe in him we will have eternal life and we can enjoy being with him in heaven.
In the Gospel Jesus tells us that those who know the father will know Him. Our ancestors ate manna, yet they died, but through Jesus and the bread of God we will live forever and have eternal life in Heaven. If we believe Jesus’ teachings we will have eternal life and be able to see the Father in Heaven.
Today’s Gospel is telling us that Jesus is the way, follow him and you will have eternal life. He IS the bread of life. Then he says that
“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him,
and I will raise him on the last day.
It is written in the prophets”
Have a blessed Thursday, God Bless!
Today’s Gospel is powerful because it talks about Jesus’ oneness with the father he says “Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me. Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father”. He says that I am the bread of life. Whomever believes in me will not die. This is the bread that comes down from heaven and will save you.
Jesus wants us to repent and to go to him. He wants us to follow him and to trust in him. He says if we listen to the father you listen to me, And if you listen to me you listen to the father.
God later feeds them with manna in the desert. He feeds them spiritually and they survive. They prayed for 40 days in the desert. When was the last time you have even prayed for an hour try and pray for a hour and be a better catholic. And make sure to go to mass every Sunday.
Jesus is saying that he is the Messiah and with him shedding his blood. He is saying that he is the key to Heaven and it get to Heaven you must follow him.
In todays gospel Jesus said “I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my Flesh for the life of the world.” This is the thing that turned many of Jesus’s followers away. We must learn to trust in God even when he does things that seem weird.
In today’s Gospel Jesus talks about how Jesus is the bread of life. How if we trust in him and we will live forever with him. We receive him every time we go to mass we should never forget that gift.
“I am the living bread that came down from heaven;
whoever eats this bread will live forever”
What stood out to me was this “I am the bread of life.” I think Jesus is telling me to believe in him with all of my being and not mostly but all.
the one part that stands out to me is the part where jesus says that jesus is in the communion it means that jesus is always with us
We have to do more than say were Catholic, we have to believe we are and know what we believe.
he is proclaiming that he is God and stating that he is the way to God and establishing the eucrist / mass.
‘Whoever eats this bread will live forever” this is telling me every time I go to Mass and I get communion I am one step closer to going to Heaven and I shall always believe in Jesus because I will go far in life if I believe.
“I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever;”. This made many of Jesus’s followers turn away. We shall learn from that, we need to trust Gods will and his words forever.
“my Flesh for the life of the world.” Jesus gave us His own flesh and body to give us life on the cross.
In the second paragraph, Jesus is saying if you believe in Him you will have eternal life, and eat His flesh/bread and blood/wine you will then also have eternal life, a good example of this is when they talk about how our ancestors ate the manna and still died. So basically, eat and drink and believe Him.
God is found in communion. God is joy and we are a result of Him overflowing with joy. We are a result of love. Love wills the good of the other and does something about it. these lines really stick out to me because God will always forgive us because He Is love and always wills the good of others. He truly cares about us and only wants good things for us. there is no sin He cannot forgive.
“God is found in communion. God is joy and we are a result of Him overflowing with joy. We are a result of love. Love wills the good of the other and does something about it. God is love and ALWAYS wills our good.” These sentences stuck out to me in today’s Gospel. They talk about how God is joy and we are a result of his love for us.
I feel very spoken to when Jesus was so persist when he said that he was the bread of life and he was the only one who could save every one from hell
Jesus was trying to tell me that if we listen to him and follow him we will have forever life with him.
“The bread that I will give is my Flesh for the life of the world.” Eat Him, strive to be like Him, love Him, and be loved by Him.
In today’s gospel God is saying to me if you don’t eat this bread you will not live forever. If you shall eat this bread you shall live with my flesh in your body. Whoever believes in Jesus you will live for eternal life.
The Eucharist is not a symbol. It really is Jesus’s body and blood. It is the Bread of eternal life. Eat it and you shall live forever. That’s why it’s important to go to Mass everyday and receive the Eucharist. He wants to be our friend and he wants to be with us out of pure love.
“THE BREAD THAT I WILL GIVE IS MY FLESH FOR THE LIFE OF THE WORLD.” What this means to me is that in mass God truly gives us his body. We are one with God after mass and we need to be submitted to God.
“Whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my Flesh for the life of the world.” This stuck out to me because Jesus is testing his followers to see if they really believe in Him. Jesus days that we must eat of His flesh and believe in Him to have eternal life.
“I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever” We live forever with God in Heaven. When we choose to eat his flesh we are choosing to be one with God. His flesh is eternal life.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus said to the crowds: “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him, and I will raise him on the last day. It is written in the prophets: They shall all be taught by God.” We are all children of God, and he is like our teacher. He brings us into the world so that we may learn what he teaches us, and then we may go out and teach it to others. That’s how the new of Jesus Christ spreads. By our words to others.
I really liked the Gospel today because it was talking about the root of Catholicism. Jesus is the bread of life. He came down and died for our sins. He showed us he was human and divine. He lived like us and died and ressurected.
In today’s gospel Jesus identifies himself as the “living bread” that provides life forever.
In today’s Scripture, I think God is trying to tell me He is truly present in the Eucharist. In the Eucharist we see the true God just in the form of bread. If we do not believe in the Eucharist we are missing out on something so great and powerful. A gift from God that should have a place in our heart that has its own undivided attention. We should also long to receive or be in the Eucharist’s presence.
Today something that stuck out to me in the Gospel was ” Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me. Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life.” God is the bread of life without him we can not live in eternal life we need to believe and share the Gospel to achieve heaven.
“Jesus just wants to be our friend. He wants to sit around the supper table and have a great conversation.” Jesus is always open for a conversation, when we are having a bad day, and even a great day, we may still need to talk to Him. Because even just a little prayer or talk helps us so much. Hearing him makes our day way better then it already is.
There’s no way to get through to the Father except through His son. The way to get to the Father is by accepting Jesus and the sacrifices He’s made. And just because we don’t need the manna anymore doesn’t mean God has stopped providing for us. He gave us something greater, Jesus. God provided us with the ultimate savior so that we have a chance to get back to Him.
Jesus wants every single one of us to believe him with our whole heart body mind and soul, he died on the cross just for us to be here and for us to learn about him. He died for a reason. When he resurrected that’s when we got to learn about him, to believe him. What he wants us to do is to go to Mass at least 3 times a week, and just to believe him and trust in him.
Jesus is saying that If anyone wants to be a follower of the way they must believe in God first and believe that he is truly the Lamb of God
In today’s Gospel, Jesus talks mostly about if you believe in God, you will have eternal life. Jesus also says that it is written in the prophets “They shall all be taught by God.” Jesus also says that if you eat my bread (meaning him) you will live forever.
In the Gospel today, “Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life”. If we believe and follow Jesus we will be granted eternal life. If you focus on the things that don’t matter in your life too much, such as the way you look, how athletic you are, or if your smart or not you will not go anywhere. Focus your life on Jesus and his teachings.
In today’s scripture reflection it gives us all a great reminder that God is full of love and his love wills the good in everything. It also tells us the Jesus is the bread of life, and he reconciles himself with his own creation and when we receive the body of Christ we also receive all of his love and good will like he always wanted us to
What this Gospel told me is that God wants to have a relationship with us but the only way for us to get to him we have to have a relationship with his son that was on Earth and died for our sins and brought us the sacraments and base for our Church today. I think too much I don’t remember just how much Jesus did for us on Earth in his short time with us.
.”I am the living bread that came down from heaven;” Hes telling us he is not just another person, he truly is God. God wouldn’t have made Jesus go though do much pain for no reason, so he we are worth all the pain and suffering Jesus endured.
These readings not only tell us that the Eucharist is in fact his flesh but it also teaches us that we must consume it to go into heaven / have eternal life. If the Eucharist wasn’t truly his flesh then there would be no way to get into heaven and Jesus dying on the cross would be pointless.
I think this Gospel is telling me that we have to believe in God to get to go with Jesus. Jesus talks about how in order to love Him, we have to love our Father.
Today’s gospel tells me that God is love. He is within the Eucharist and he wants us to recieve communion so we can have eternal life with him in heaven. God wills the good that happens to us. Everything happens for a reason and we need to follow through with God’s plan for us
We did not live to actually see Jesus walk on water or heal the blind. Yet we believe that He did this. We’ve never seen Heaven, yet we believe that Heaven is truly there and has a spot for us to dwell. Faith is believing without seeing. You just know. You know that Jesus is truly there, walking with you to Heaven. Do not doubt that God is there with you; He is ubiquitous, always and everywhere. You are not alone to fight Satan. You have the same power that strengthened the Apostles.
“THE BREAD THAT I WILL GIVE IS MY FLESH FOR THE LIFE OF THE WORLD.” This verse meant alot to me in the Gospel because Jesus is saying that he will give anything up for us so we can be with him in heaven for eternal life.
“The bread that I will give is my Flesh for the life of the world.” I feel like I have heard this a lot, and whenever I open my Bible randomly, it opens to this page. Throughout the Bible, in all the gospels, Jesus is shown – because He is – as a giving and selfless man. He gave up His flesh both literally and figuratively for us, at Calvary when He died and daily in Church for our souls. He gives the world something so pure and many people still do not take it or they abuse it.
“I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever” this stuck out to me the most our of everything because I believe this was telling me that Jesus had came down from heaven to scacrifice his live for you and me and so we could be able to go to heaven one day.
In today’s Gospel Jesus tells us that in order to understand Jesus we have to believe in him. He has come to save us, to give us the living bread of eternal life so that we may have eternal life. We must believe the things that Jesus is saying to us so that we are ready for when he comes.
Today in the Gospel Jesus instructs us to receive the Eucharist and believe in him. If we do not receive the Eucharist or believe in him, we can’t go to heaven.
In today’s Gospel anyone who ti the bread of life will have eternal
life and parish with jesus forever. And Jesus is also performing one
of his greatest miracle turning the bread and wine into
the really living flesh of the lord that will save humanity.
What I got from today’s reading and Gospel is that you have to center God in your life because if you listen to him and read of the scriptures you will go to him. If you have something else in the center of your life you will go to it more than God. To see who the true God is we have to be of God.
Today’s Gospel is really powerful in my opinion. Jesus is saying that He is the only way to the father. The way, which is the inspiration of this website, is Jesus and today he tells us just that very plainly that He is the way to the father. We can only be Holy with him we need him and He loves us. That alone should give us inspiration to live our lives boldly for him as the saints did. Although we might not travel thousands of miles we can still evangelize in our lives each and every day. We can preach through both word and deed proclaiming Christ wherever we go just the early Christians did. The ones who were called The Way.
