Roger Landry and it\u2019s a privilege for me to be with you as we enter into the consequential conversation the Risen Lord Jesus wants to have with each of us this Sunday, as we enter into the second of five weeks of meditation on the sixth chapter of St. John\u2019s Gospel, in which Jesus speaks to us prophetically about the reality of his presence in the Holy Eucharist and how we should respond to it.<\/li>\n<li>At the beginning of the Gospel, we see that those who received Jesus\u2019 free meal in the miraculous multiplication of the loaves and fish, on which we focused last Sunday, were looking for another free meal. Jesus called them out on it, because he wanted to help them grow in faith. \u201cAmen, I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw signs\u201d \u2014 in other words, because you saw me perform a miracle and it\u2019s led you to put faith in me and in my words \u2014\u00a0\u201cbut because you ate your fill of the loaves.\u201d They came because of their material hunger and saw Jesus as a means to address their material hungers and needs. This is not evil in itself. Jesus would teach us to pray, \u201cGive us today our daily bread.\u201d Many come to the Lord not just with wants but real material needs, not knowing how to pay the rent, or put food on the table, purchase medications, or find a job to help support loved ones. God wants to hear these prayers. As a loving Father, he wants us to bring our needs to him. It wasn\u2019t this that Jesus was criticizing. Jesus was criticizing the fact that they had stopped there, that they were concerned most about their material needs.<\/li>\n<li>Jesus tells them, and tells us, \u201cDo not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you.\u201d So many people, good people,\u00a0spend most of their adult lives working to put food on the table, to nourish themselves\u00a0and their families. We all know how important\u00a0<em>that\u00a0<\/em>is, but Jesus is saying that as hard as we work to fulfill that duty of love, we must work much harder for the food that he will give us, the food of eternal life. What is that food that God puts on the table? What is that nourishment of eternal life? If most people spend forty hours a week or more, sometimes working two or three jobs for\u00a0perishables, what is the imperishable nutrition for which Jesus tells us we should labor even more strenuously?<\/li>\n<li>There are four interconnected answers to that question:<\/li>\n<li>The first <em>is knowing God\u2019s Word<\/em>. In the battles to which Jesus was exposed in the desert, Jesus was asked by the devil to turn stone into bread to feed his incredible hunger after having fasted for 40 days and 40 nights. Jesus responded by saying, \u201cMan does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.\u201d To work for this food means to strive to know, understand, treasure and put into practice all the words that come from God\u2019s mouth to feed us.<\/li>\n<li>This leads directly to the second common interpretation of the food that endures to eternal life:\u00a0<em>Doing God\u2019s will.\u00a0<\/em>Jesus says elsewhere in the Gospel, \u201cMy food is to do the will of the one who sent me and to accomplish his work.\u201d That\u2019s why it\u2019s unsurprising that Jesus later in this Bread of Life Discourse at the Capernaum synagogue, will say, \u201cFor I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me; and this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up at the last day.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>The third is the\u00a0<em>work of faith<\/em>. When Jesus says, \u201cDo not work for food that perishes\u00a0but for the food that endures for eternal life,\u00a0that the Son of Man will give you,\u201d the crowds immediately replied, \u201cWhat can we do to accomplish the works of God?\u201d There\u2019s a particular type of work necessary to labor for the enduring nourishment Christ gives, and Jesus makes it very clear:\u00a0\u201cThis is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent.\u201d We need to believe in Jesus and believe in what he says and does. That work of faith is the most essential element in laboring for eternal life in general, but also it\u2019s essential for us to believe in what Jesus says about the upcoming fourth response.<\/li>\n<li>The fourth answer is the one that ought to be obvious to us who have heard the Bread of Life discourse many times:\u00a0<em>it\u2019s Jesus\u2019 presence in the Eucharist<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>All four of these interpretations, of course, go together in the celebration of the Mass. We begin with God\u2019s word, we make an act of faith with regard to it, we unite ourselves with God\u2019s will and \u201cdo this in memory of [him]\u201d and then have the awesome privilege of receiving the Word made Flesh, God\u2019s daily spiritual self-gift. Becoming one body with Christ in the Eucharist is meant to help us become one with his will and faithfully accomplish it in the world.<\/li>\n<li>But the main point for us is not simply to\u00a0<em>know\u00a0<\/em>what is the imperishable nourishment for which we should be striving but actually to\u00a0<em>live for it,\u00a0<\/em>to labor for it, directour efforts toward this as our goal, as our reward, as our desire.<\/li>\n<li>At the end of this Sunday\u2019s Gospel, still obsessed about food and free meals, the crowds ask Jesus, \u201cWhat sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you?\u201d saying, \u201cOur ancestors ate manna in the desert, as it is written, \u2018He gave them bread from heaven to eat.\u2019\u201d We\u00a0remember the story of the manna. If we don\u2019t, it will be this Sunday\u2019s first reading. The Jews were grumbling in the desert, fearful that they would starve to death. So Moses brought their complaints and pleas to God, and God replied by saying, \u201cI am going to rain bread from heaven for you, and each day the people shall go out and gather enough for that day\u201d (Exod 16:4). And every morning for forty years, they awoke to find a miraculous edible dew that looked like coriander seed, with the white like gum resin, tasting like wafers made with honey (Num 11:7; Exod 16:31). They Israelites had no idea what it was, and hence called it \u201cmanna,\u201d which literally means, \u201cWhat is it?\u201d Moses told them, \u201cIt is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat\u201d and instructed them to gather as much of it as each one needed for a day. This is how they survived in the desert for forty years, until they reached the promised land. Every morning except the Sabbath God in his wisdom made the Israelites get the manna, but even on the Sabbath, they would eat the second daily portion of manna that they had gotten the day before. The Book of Exodus tells us that God made them do this every day in order to \u201ctest them,\u201d to see whether or not they would follow his instruction and be faithful (Exod 16:4).<\/li>\n<li>Jesus, however, applies the history of the manna to the reality of his presence in the Holy Eucharist, saying that he is the \u201ctrue manna,\u201d the \u201ctrue bread \u2026 that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.\u201d The crowd\u2019s response was materialistic but nevertheless prophetic<strong>: <\/strong>\u201cSir, give us this bread always,\u201d and Jesus replied, \u201cI am the bread of life;\u00a0whoever comes to me will never hunger,\u00a0and whoever believes in me will never thirst.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>If the Jews needed to consume the manna every day in the desert, and Jesus is the true Manna, he is implying that we should be working for this \u201ctrue Bread\u201d <em>every day<\/em>. In the Our Father, Jesus taught us to pray, not, \u201cGive us today all the bread we\u2019re going to need this week\u201d or \u201cGive us now all we\u2019ll ever need,\u201d but \u201cGive us this day our daily bread,\u201d because he wanted us to recognize that every day God wants to grant that prayer. The early saints of the Church commented at length about the Greek word we translate as \u201cdaily\u201d \u2014\u00a0<em>epi-ousios<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 which literally means \u201csuper-substantial.\u201d They said it referred less to the material bread that we need to consume for physical survival, but to the bread that goes beyond our substance \u2014 the Eucharist \u2014 that we need for our souls. The early saints said that Jesus was teaching them to pray\u00a0<em>that the Father would give them every day the Eucharist<\/em>. In response to the request of the Jews, \u201cSir, give us this bread always,\u201d Jesus\u00a0<em>has<\/em>, by giving us his body and blood and making it available not just on Sunday in special way, but every day.<\/li>\n<li>God has desired to give us each day this \u201cdaily bread come down from heaven,\u201d because he knows that we need to be spiritually fed each day. I\u2019m convinced from both personal and pastoral experience that one of the real proofs of whether we recognize that the Eucharist really is Jesus, and whether we truly love the Lord, can be seen in our attitude toward daily Mass. Even if a Catholic\u00a0cannot physically be present every day at Mass because of other pressing responsibilities, our hearts should always be longing for this encounter. That should be our great hunger. \u201cSir, give us that bread always\u201d and \u201cGive us today our supersubstantial\u00a0Bread!\u201d should be our most persistent aspirations. And our gratitude to God\u2019s answering that prayer by raining down for us each day this true Bread from heaven should know no bounds.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cDo not work for the food that perishes but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you.\u201d This Sunday, and each day this week, we have a chance, with gratitude and God\u2019s help, to do so.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>The Gospel passage on which the homily was based was:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-header\">\n<div class=\"address\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bible.usccb.org\/bible\/john\/6?24\">Jn 6:24-35<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content-body\">\n<p>When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there,<br \/>\nthey themselves got into boats<br \/>\nand came to Capernaum looking for Jesus.<br \/>\nAnd when they found him across the sea they said to him,<br \/>\n\u201cRabbi, when did you get here?\u201d<br \/>\nJesus answered them and said,<br \/>\n\u201cAmen, amen, I say to you,<br \/>\nyou are looking for me not because you saw signs<br \/>\nbut because you ate the loaves and were filled.<br \/>\nDo not work for food that perishes<br \/>\nbut for the food that endures for eternal life,<br \/>\nwhich the Son of Man will give you.<br \/>\nFor on him the Father, God, has set his seal.\u201d<br \/>\nSo they said to him,<br \/>\n\u201cWhat can we do to accomplish the works of God?\u201d<br \/>\nJesus answered and said to them,<br \/>\n\u201cThis is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent.\u201d<br \/>\nSo they said to him,<br \/>\n\u201cWhat sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you?<br \/>\nWhat can you do?<br \/>\nOur ancestors ate manna in the desert, as it is written:<br \/>\n<em>He gave them bread from heaven to eat<\/em>.\u201d<br \/>\nSo Jesus said to them,<br \/>\n\u201cAmen, amen, I say to you,<br \/>\nit was not Moses who gave the bread from heaven;<br \/>\nmy Father gives you the true bread from heaven.<br \/>\nFor the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven<br \/>\nand gives life to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So they said to him,<br \/>\n\u201cSir, give us this bread always.\u201d<br \/>\nJesus said to them,<br \/>\n\u201cI am the bread of life;<br \/>\nwhoever comes to me will never hunger,<br \/>\nand whoever believes in me will never thirst.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_8671\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-22521-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/secure\/catholicpreaching\/7.31.21_Landry_ConCon.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/secure\/catholicpreaching\/7.31.21_Landry_ConCon.mp3\">https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/secure\/catholicpreaching\/7.31.21_Landry_ConCon.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/secure\/catholicpreaching\/7.31.21_Landry_ConCon.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/catholicpreaching.com\/wp\/?powerpress_pinw=22521-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/secure\/catholicpreaching\/7.31.21_Landry_ConCon.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"7.31.21_Landry_ConCon.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fr.
