The Catholic Calendar for Wednesday, April 13, 2005
Wednesday of the Third Week of Easter
St. Martin I, pope and martyr

Scripture from today's Liturgy of the Word:
Acts 8:1-8
Psalm 66:1-7
John 6:35-40

A reflection on today's Sacred Scripture:

"I am the bread of life;
whoever comes to me will never hunger,
and whoever believes in me will never thirst." (John 6:35)

There are yearnings in our heart and soul that only God can fill. Recognising our need for God's love, forgiveness, acceptance, allows us to deal with the practicalities of daily living. Only when we have recharged our 'spiritual' battery are we then equipped to deal with the world in all its brokenness and complexity. To truly understand an issue or problem we delve into the source of its origin. So in order to truly understand our human nature and our divine aspirations, we need to go to the one Source who is God, the Alpha and the Omega - the Beginning and the End.

Today, let us examine our lives and seek out the areas where we have been misplacing our focus, looking for answers. Let us reengage in communication with Jesus to find our true path.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
