27 April, 2023 | Thursday of the Thrid Week of Easter | 20th Anniv. of Beatification of Bl. James Alberione (Founder of The Pauline Family)

Gospel Jn 6:44-51



Jesus said to the crowds:

"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him,

and I will raise him on the last day.

It is written in the prophets:

They shall all be taught by God.

Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me.

Not that anyone has seen the Father

except the one who is from God;

he has seen the Father.

Amen, amen, I say to you,

whoever believes has eternal life.

I am the bread of life.

Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died;

this is the bread that comes down from heaven

so that one may eat it and not die.

I am the living bread that came down from heaven;

whoever eats this bread will live forever;

and the bread that I will give

is my Flesh for the life of the world."


 Reflection

Christ is the only person who can reveal God because he is the only one who truly knows God, and the incarnation of Christ has brought divine revelation. When He speaks of the Bread, he points to the Redemption by the Cross to the whole of humanity through his passion, death and resurrection and the institution of the Eucharist. The Lord’s prayer we recite, “Give us this day our daily bread,” refers not only to our temporal needs but, more specifically, to the Eucharist itself, our eternal manna. 

Activity:

 Prepare yourself  before participating in the Eucharist, receive Christ lovingly in communion, and thank him for this special gift of His life.


20th Anniversary of the Beatification of Blessed James Alberione, Founder of the Pauline Family


Prayer to gain favours through the intercession of Blessed James Alberione 

Lord, glorify Blessed James Alberione in your Church.

Let him be for all of us a light, guide and support

in the work of our sanctification and in our apostolate.

Open the way for evangelization through the media

so that the presence of Jesus Master,

the Way, Truth and Life, may shine on the world

through Mary, Mother and Queen of Apostles.

Grant me the grace I am praying for at this time.

Pray Our Father, Hail  Mary and Glory Be.

 Gospel Jn 7:1-2, 10, 25-30 Jesus moved about within Galilee; he did not wish to travel in Judea, because the Jews were trying to kill him. But the Jewish feast of Tabernacles was near. But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, he himself also went up, not openly but as it were in secret. Some of the inhabitants of Jerusalem said, "Is he not the one they are trying to kill? And look, he is speaking openly and they say nothing to him. Could the authorities have realized that he is the Christ? But we know where he is from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from." So Jesus cried out in the temple area as he was teaching and said, "You know me and also know where I am from. Yet I did not come on my own, but the one who sent me, whom you do not know, is true. I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me." So they tried to arrest him, but no one laid a hand upon him, because his hour had not yet come.   Reflection:  In today’s gospel we find J...
