Friends in today’s Gospel, *Jesus offers himself as food for the soul.
There is a great truth revealed in the bread of life discourse. It is the
law of the gift. This personal, incarnating God wants to be eaten and
drunk, to be radically and fully for the other.*

*Why were the gods of the ancient world so popular? Because they were
projections of ourselves—vain, arrogant, resentful, violent. This means
that they put little moral pressure on us. They were frightening but not
morally demanding.*

*But this God who shows that he is totally love and who wants us in
relation to him, to eat and drink him in, is the God who wants us to be
like him. As he is food and drink for the world*, *so we must be food and
drink for the world. As he gave himself away utterly, so we must give
ourselves away utterly, without clinging to the goods, honors, or values of
the world—all those things that* *aggrandize the ego. *

*The personal God, the incarnate God, the God of the gift. How compelling.
How deeply challenging. How will you decide?*

*Mi Atyánk, aki a mennyekben vagy, szenteltessék meg a Te neved, jöjjön el
a Te országod, legyen meg a Te akaratod, amint a mennyben, úgy a földön is.
Mindennapi kenyerünket add meg nekünk ma és bocsásd meg a mi vétkeinket,
miképpen mi is megbocsátunk az ellenünk vétkezőknek, és ne vígy minket a
kísértésbe, de szabadíts meg a gonosztól. Mert Tiéd az ország, a hatalom és
a dicsőség most és mindörökké. Ámen. *
