A CHANGE IN APPETITE The Word Exposed with Cardinal Tagle (August 4, 2024)

Today is the Eighteenth Sunday in ordinary time and in the Gospel, Jesus tells his followers, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst.”

Friends, Jesus's remark is aimed at teaching his followers to look at the signs that he has been making, like the feeding of the 5000 beyond its surface.

In following Jesus, what we should aspire to receive is not the food that perishes, but the food that endures for eternal life. This food that endures for eternal life is Jesus Himself. And we could partake of it through the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. When we open ourselves to the nourishment that comes from the proclamation of His Word, when we consume his body and blood, which is our communion with him.

Let us come to Jesus, brothers and sisters, with desire, with longing, with appetite for Him who is the bread of God which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world?
