The Word of God - Our Spiritual Food



"I am the bread of life," Jesus told them. "Those who come to me will never be hungry; those who believe in me will never be thirsty. Now I told you that you have seen me but will not believe. Everyone whom my Father gives me will come to me. I will never turn away anyone who comes to me, because I have come down from heaven to do not my own will but the will of him who sent me. And it is the will of him who sent me that I should not lose any of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them all to life on the last day. For what my Father wants is that all who see the Son and believe in him should have eternal life. And I will raise them to life on the last day."
(John 6: 35 - 40)


Dear friends, Jesus is constantly looking for us, with kindness, compassion and love. He is there to give himself to us for the salvation of our souls out of his great unconditional love for us. Often we don't realize the presence and love of Jesus. we are often blinded with the barriers of this material world and obstacles caused because of the love for luxuries of the world. Nothing of this world can save us but only Jusus who died for our sins and raised to life for our salvation. Jesus doesn't want our souls to be lost. He is there, calling us by name. Let us try to listen to his voice and recognize the great love. Jusus come to us in the form of our neighbours, brothers and sisters. If we are able to look at them and see them, with love, compassion and kindness, we will experience the presence of Jusus in our innerselves. To achieve this we need to be armed with the weapon of daily prayers, and the power of the Rosary will give us the intercession of Mother Mary to support us in our journey to see Jesus.

Lord Jesus, help us to realize your love for us and give us the craving and eagerness to be one with you in spirit, and not to be attracted to what the world can offer, but mold us with the Word Of God, to strengthen our belief for the salvation of our souls.
