Homily from 8-1-21

I AM the bread of life.  As we travel through St. John's Bread of Life discourse, Jesus speaks these most important words this week.  After all the pandemic restricts and strife, have we come to a deeper understanding, a stronger yearning for the Eucharist?  Of course the Eucharist is more than just bread and wine, more than just physical sustenance.  It's that which we need to live forever.  Hopefully we can say with fervor, "Lord, give us this day our daily bread."
