John 6:35-40

Date posted: April 21, 2021

Let us all remember that we are in the Holy Presence of God.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

 

John 6:35-40
Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and anyone who comes to me I will never drive away; for I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. This is indeed the will of my Father, that all who see the Son and believe in him may have eternal life; and I will raise them up on the last day.’

Reflection
The Gospel tells us that we are nourished by Eucharist and by the word in scripture. The symbol of the Eucharist is the body of Christ broken, and his blood poured out for us. How do I share and work in the service for others?

 

Lasallian Guiding Principle
LGP states that, “Zeal is the expression of faith in service to human need.” As Lasallian, our lounging should be satisfied by the love and grace, which comes from our Lord, and saving God. Let us allow ourselves also to be broken and shared for others.

MISSION PRAYER 2021 Year of Missio Ad Gentes CBCP
God, our loving Father, You sent your Son into the world to proclaim the Good News of Salvation to all: to sinners, the poor, oppressed, the sick, the abandoned and neglected. He gave His life on the Cross for us and rose again to new life to redeem us and reconcile us with you. You sent Your Holy Spirit to the Apostles to continue the work of Your Son and to lead all to salvation. We thank you, Father, for bringing us from darkness into light. Through Your loving plan, 500 years ago, missionaries came to our land to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus, Your Son, to our ancestors that made us your people and the Church. The gift of faith has accompanied us through both darkness and lights, defeats and victories of our history as your people. Our faith has become for us true light that shines in the darkness. Renew in us the grace of your Spirit that impels us to be witnesses of Jesus, Your Son, to a world broken by greed, violence, injustice, sickness and suffering. May our faith bring us to unity as your children to care for, and love one another. May the Holy Spirit empower us to be proclaimers of the Good News to our brothers and sisters in Asia, and to all nations. Give us the sincere desire to help others to come to faith in the Lord Jesus to share in your joy and life. May the Blessed Mother, the Star of Evangelization, accompany us and pray for us as we live and share our faith with others. May our strong love and devotion to her as our Mahal na Ina form us to be true disciples and witnesses of Jesus to all, always ready to be sent, and to be obedient to whatever Jesus asks of us. We ask this through Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen.
St. John Baptist de La Salle, pray for us.
St. Miguel Febres Cordero, pray for us.
Live Jesus in our hearts, forever!

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
