Doubters nd murmurers begin pushing bck ginst Jesus in verse 41. Some people re just like tht - they simply refuse to believe tht Jesus is truly The Bred of Life. The Holy Spirit provides the Scred Scriptures nd the gift of Fith for us to fully believe tht Jesus is The Bred of Life. If you hve ny doubts bout this, red Jesus' words gin. Red Jesus' words t the Lst Supper. At every Mss for 2000 yers, the priest sys Jesus' words gin. Immeditely, the priest then sys, "The mystery of fith." It is the most beutiful mystery for us tht Jesus is The Bred of Life! Wht humble love He hs to feed us, to nourish us, to sustin our lives with His true Body & Blood, Soul & Divinity. This is God's design nd we re hppy for it. This Wednesdy is Holy Dy, the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mry. It ws God's pln for Jesus to come into the world through Mry. Becuse she belongs to Christ, Mry, our queen, is ssumed into Heven, s gret sign for ll who believe in her Son. Everyone is clled to celebrte this Solemnity!
