 Jesus Feeds His People – The Bread of Life Discourse in the Gospel of John:

This weekend, we embark on a journey through John chapter 6. It is a very profound and truly Catholic book in the Bible, which we will be exploring through August 22nd. During this time, I encourage you to read through this chapter of John during the week - and spend some time meditating on the themes contained within.

Some themes you could consider:
The Liturgy: Where God Feeds Us
The Liturgy of the Word: God’s Language for His People
The Sacrificial Aspect of the Mass
Jesus is Truly Present in the Eucharist
Participation at Mass: What Does This Really Mean?

When you read through the scriptures, do so prayerfully:
Carve out 15-20 minutes (or more) where you can be uninterrupted and invite the Holy Spirit to guide you. The Prayer to the Holy Spirit is a great start!

Read the particular passage from John 6 - three times. Each time, ask what God wants you to get out of the particular passage. Write down a word of phrase He presents to you.

Spend some time with that word or phrase, asking God what He is asking of you. This is where the Scripture passage gets personal and will involve listening to God speak to your heart.

Now, you can take what God is asking of you deeper into your life. How did that particular request make you feel? Emotions here are ok – and should be shared with God (i.e. I’m afraid, excited, encouraged, comforted, at peace…). Be honest.

The final step is to rest with the Lord. Allow the conversation you just had with God to soak in. You may find it helpful to focus on the question: “What am I going to do with the request God made of me?” You may even make a resolve to a change in your life or a new initiative. Conclude with a prayer of Thanksgiving.

Meeting: Wednesday, Aug 4th, 6:30 PM, Noll Hall

Beginning on December 8, 2020, Pope Francis declared this year to be dedicated to St. Joseph and so we ask for his intercession as we pray: In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit… Saint Joseph, Vicar of the Holy Spirit in fulfilling the duties of your wonderful marriage with Mary, introduce the Holy Spirit to my will in order to ignite it with God’s holy love. Present my will to the Most Holy Trinity so that my desires may always be at God’s disposal. Offer my heart to God so that He may dwell in it as on a throne of love and mercy. Present the movements of my soul and all the affections of my heart to God so that through your intercession I will always be faithful to the grace and inspirations of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
