Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
Week 2 - The Journey Day 3
"So Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave the bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from heaven." John 6:32
Signs, aren't we all looking for signs and we miss The Sign. John is the only Gospel that talks about signs. They wanted a sign: "So they said to him, "What sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you? What can you do?" John 6:30. Jesus is the sign! They had placed their faith in Moses a man and the Son of God is in front of them He is the sign. What about us, do we place our trust in a man, do we go to Church because the preacher is amazing, gives really good messages and us not seeing The Sign.
In my Catholic faith, the priest consecrates the bread and wine into the body, blood soul and divinity of Christ. It isn't the priest that does this, it is God. "For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."" John 6:33 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life."

John 3:16 Jesus is the sign, He is the true bread from Heaven. Mass could be in a foreign language and I understand none of the words yet Jesus is still there in flesh and blood, nothing else is needed. He is the sign!
What is God saying to me: Nothing else is needed, My words will convict the heart to see the truth. Our minds get cloudy with wanting to feed self, it is I God who speaks to you, see the truth in what I say.
Dear Father God, you know our own frail human weaknesses and love us anyway. You see us asking for signs trying to feed the flesh and our spirit misses the truth staring us in the face. Allow our hearts and minds to awaken to the truth, do not allow us to get bogged down with frivolous information used to distract us from the Truth. Thank You for the beautiful rain and the shield of protection as the storm blew, You are with us. Bless this day and all it has to offer, May I give back as best as I can. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Heaven, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Protector of the Holy Family, Pray for us.
Viva Cristo Rey
