Dealing with doubt
How we ignore God's help
God always wants to help us when we need help. Sometimes, however, like the people in today’s Gospel, we reject God’s assistance because because it comes in a form we do not expect. Asking for help is an act of faith.
Missing the Sign
Just as the people in the Gospel (John 6:24-35) are corrected by Jesus for focusing on the good, but external aspects of a sign (bread) rather than the better, divine truth it represented (Jesus is the bread of life), the Gospel today challenges us to ensure we come to Mass for the right reasons.
