Living Our Faith
Jesus’ message in today’s gospel must have seemed both odd and disappointing to the crowds who followed him after the feeding of the 5,000. They thought they were looking for another sign; something to feed their belief. When Jesus explained that he is the bread from Heaven, he gave them exactly what they were looking for, however they didn’t recognize it. They hadn’t yet made the connection between being filled with physical food and being filled with spiritual food. How do we recognize Jesus in our lives? Do we look and listen for him only in physical ways, or ways in which we are familiar? Or are we willing to risk it a little, to give up a little more control of our hearts and look beyond the obvious? The followers in today’s gospel were looking for a sign like manna when the true bread from heaven was standing before them.

Viviendo Nuestra Fe
El mensaje de Jesús en el evangelio de hoy a de ver sido raro y decepcionante para el gentío que lo siguieron después que alimento a los 5000. Ellos buscaban otra señal; algo que alimentara su fe. Cuando Jesús les explico que El era el pan del Cielo, les dio exactamente lo que necesitaban, sin embargo no lo podían reconocer. No habían distinguido todavía entre llenar de la comida física y ser llenados con la comida espiritual. ¿Cómo reconocemos a Jesús en nuestras vidas? ¿Lo buscamos en las cosas físicas solamente o en maneras familiares? ¿O estamos dispuestos a tomar un poco de riesgo y renunciar un poco de control sobre nuestros corazones para ver más allá de lo obvio? Los seguidores del evangelio de hoy buscaban una señal como el maná cuando el verdadero pan del cielo estaba parado delante de ellos.
