John 6,35-40

May 04, 2022 (Wednesday)
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 the only way to be in Heaven with God is through the ways of Jesus Christ. He who was sent by God to
deliver the message and give us the chance to reach heaven and live eternity with God. Jesus Christ, who paid the wages of
our sin, will not choose who may go and who will stay. He will usher us to the path leading to God. It is our choice whether to
accept the gift that God has given us, believe in or not. God will grant His promise of eternal life with Him in Heaven. Am I still responsible for the gift of faith given to me?

Lasallian Guiding Principle
LGP states that, Zeal is… “a passionate commitment to realize God’s will…” Lasallians are called to be like our founder St.
John Baptist De La Salle who willingly offered his life in the mission to educate the poor children of France. Empowered by the
Holy Spirit, he introduced Jesus Christ to the youth and led them on how to be a Christ for others. His work succeeded and continued in what we do right now. Let us allow ourselves to be modern sowers of faith.

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 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.
