First Reading: Acts 6:8-15
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 119:23-24, 26-27, 29-30
Alleluia: Matthew 4:4b
Gospel: John 6:22-29
The crowd had just witnessed a miracle. Jesus fed thousands with just a few loaves and fish. And what did they do next? They went looking for Him again. But not because they understood who He was; they were looking for another meal. And Jesus gently corrects them: โYouโre not really seeking Meโฆ youโre seeking what I can give you.โ
And if weโre honest, sometimes, thatโs us too. We pray when we need something. We go to God when we want something. We seek Him for what we can receive. But Jesus invites us to something deeper. Donโt just seek what is temporary, seek what is eternal. Because there are two kinds of hunger in life: the hunger for what is immediate and the hunger for what truly lasts.
