Homily (Reflection) for Thursday of the Third Week of Easter (4th
May, 2017) on the Gospel
Acts 8:26-40;
Ps 65:8-9.16-17.20. (R. v.1);Jn 6:44-51.
Topic: The Bread of life.
In today’s gospel, Jesus pointed out that faith is a gift of
the Father: “No one can come to me unless drawn by the Father who sent me ....”
However, a faithless fellow is culpable. Just like other gifts, one can either
put it into use to blossom or it will dry up, Matt 25:14-30.

Some do think that Jesus did not talk actually about His body.
But in the gospels we read, “Jesus took a loaf of bread, and after blessing it he
broke it, gave it to his disciples, and said, ‘Take, eat; this is my body” (Matt 26:26; cf. Mk 14:22; Lk 22:19).
Jesus actually gave us His flesh to eat. The questions are:
‘Do we believe that Jesus is the bread of life that came down from heaven?’ and
‘How often and worthily do we eat this bread?’
Bible Reading: 1Cor 11:23-26.
Thought for today: Jesus is the bread of life.
Let us pray: Lord, help us to understand the gift
of yourself in the Holy Eucharist – Amen.
You are free to share this reflection with others
