Commentary By Jane Prini

  Have you ever read or heard a bible passage that gave you hope, or lightened your day? Isn’t it amazing how God’s Word, written so long ago, can do that for us today? I am often amazed to see how Jesus uses my offering of time with Him, and gives me back so much more. This is one way that Jesus ‘feeds’ us today. Another way is through receiving His Body and Blood during Mass. He gives us the Bread of Life. Jesus is the Bread of Life.
