"Be filled with the Spirit, as you sing Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing to the Lord in your hearts, giving thanks to God at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." ~ Ephesians 5:19
The lectionary continues with John's discourse on the Bread of Life today. Jesus states that he is the living bread come down from Heaven and invites the people to eat his flesh and drink his blood. This is a challenge for the people then, and is now, even for Catholics. The point is really more about having a steady diet of Jesus. No substitutes allowed!
The second reading shows the path to maintain this diet: sing psalms and give thanks at all times and for everything. I have had a great weekend away with friends, and my heart does sing to the Lord in thanksgiving. I am deeply blessed with such amazing opportunities and good friends.
What will you give thanks for this day?
Peace,
Suzanne
