Alleluia, alleluia. One does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God. R. Alleluia, alleluia. Gospel: John 6:22-29 [After Jesus had fed the five thousand men, his disciples saw him walking on the sea.] On the next day, the crowd which was standing across the sea saw that there were no other small boats in that place, except one, and that Jesus had not entered into the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had departed alone. Yet truly, other boats came over from Tiberias, next to the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord gave thanks. Therefore, when the crowd had seen that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they climbed into the small boats, and they went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus. And when they had found him across the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?” Jesus answered them and said: “Amen, amen, I say to you, you seek me, not because you have seen signs, but because you have eaten from the bread and were satisfied. Do not work for food that perishes, but for that which endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.” Therefore, they said to him, “What should we do, so that we may labor in the works of God?” Jesus responded and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he sent.” == Monday, April 15, 2024 - A moment with GOD through HIS WORD. Reflection: What brings more meaning to your life: chasing fleeting pleasures or pursuing lasting fulfillment? And how does this choice shape your journey? Prayer: My most glorious Lord, You are the Food that is eternal. You are the Food for everlasting life. Give me the wisdom I need, dear Lord, to turn my eyes from the passing and least important things of this world and to turn, instead, to that which is eternal. May I keep my eyes upon You and be nourished by my faith in You. Jesus, I trust in You.
