TODAY'S READINGS
First Reading -- After resting and taking nourishment twice, Elijah is strengthened to walk to the
mountain of God, Horeb (1 Kings 19:4-8).
Psalm -- Taste and see the goodness of the Lor d
(Psalm 34).
Second Reading -- Be sealed by the Holy Spir it of
God so as to be imitators of God and live in love
(Ephesians 4:30 -- 5:2).
Gospel -- J esus pr ofesses that he is the living
bread and whoever eats this bread will live forever
(John 6:41-51).
THE BEGINNING OF
EVERYTHING
Everyone recognizes the truth of good proverbs, and
so they endure from generation to generation. The
Russians have a surprisingly bold one that fits this
Sunday's Gospel: "Bread is the beginning of
everything."
Judging from the first reading, Elijah might have felt
that it was too late for bread--too late for life itself.
This great prophet was at the end of his rope and
endurance. Then, not one, but two angels visit him.
One offers food and drink. The other gives startling
directions. For Elijah, this food from the angels is
bread for his journey. On the strength of the heavensent gift of food, he walks to the mountain of God.
In today's Gospel, Jesus offers himself, not just as
bread for the journey, but as bread for life itself. He
gives his flesh as life for the world. "I am the bread
of life" (John 6:48). He is the beginning of
everything.
