Jesus, the Bread of Life-giving Love

 This past week, Jesus has kept leading me back to the Bread of Life Discourse in the Bible.  It has shown up in the daily Readings, at youth group, and in a bible study.  Praise God!  He is Present in the Eucharist!  Jesus is calling us to have faith in what He says, and to receive Him as sustenance to what it means to follow Him with our very lives.

We must never take His Presence among us for granted, and know that He makes Himself small, so that we are not afraid to approach Him.  We have an approachable God, and He is showing us the way of the gospel!  

Jesus wants to give of Himself, though it takes our willingness to be attentive to this great Mystery of merciful love.  He does not force us; He only bids us.  I was blessed with an opportunity to go to adoration this week, and what a blessing it always is!  Can we fathom His great love for us?  He is among us in the Eucharist, and makes us "walking tabernacles" when we receive Him at Mass.  So we must go forth, bringing that same love and mercy to others!
