Daily Reflections

In the midst of this wounded history, Christ presents Himself with a certainty that sustains the soul: “I am the bread of life… whoever comes to me will never hunger.” (John 6).

We know what we should do, but fail to comply with what God is asking. Like stubborn oxen, we often remain focused on our own interests instead of showing patience and kindness to others.

We want the perks of the Prophet without the nuisance of His prophecy. We want a Jesus who endorses our lives, not one who interrogates them.

Today, we are witnesses to miracle stories like the "Miracle of the Sun" at Fatima and the miracles of the apostles in Acts.

No one is truly lost when the Lord is the compass of our lives. Nothing can drown us if we hold on to Him.

Today’s gospel recounts one of the most memorable of Jesus’ miracles: the multiplication of the loaves and fishes.

“As long-time followers of Jesus, how well do we witness to his presence in our lives?”

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
-John 3:16

There is a dominant, lasting joy that comes from trusting him in so many areas, including with our deepest struggles, rather than trying to fix everything ourselves.

Like Nicodemus, Jesus invites all of us to embrace Easter as a feast that ought to be a way of life.
