They said to him ‘Give us this bread, always.’
Jesus said to them
‘I am the bread of life.
The one who comes to me will never be hungry,
and the one who believes in my will never ever be thirsty.
But I say to you that you saw me and do not believe.
All that the Father gives to me will come to me,
and the one who comes to me I will certainly not turn away.
Because I did not come down from heaven
in order to do my own will
but the will of the one who sent me.
Indeed this is the will of the one who sent me
that I will lose nothing of all that he has given me
and I will raise them up on the last day.
For this is the will of my Father,
that all who see the Son and believe in him
will have eternal life
and I will raise that one on the last day.‘
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is discord, union;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy,
For your mercy and for your truth’s sake. Amen
